I'm Shocked! (Shocked I tell you!)

[Kevin Lang]

What is the difference between the Rancho shocks? Other than 20 bucks on the price tag?



I need to upgrade my OEM shocks, not only because they're reputed to suck, but one of the projects here shows that the OEM shock can actually destroy itself, which would not be fun.



What is the difference between the 5000 and the 7000?



Oh, and these shocks aren't made in mexico, are they?



(a half sarcastic question...canadian stuff sucks as well, though I didn't want to believe it)

The RS5000 is similar to the Monroe SensaTrac, and the RS7000 (RSX) is similar to the Monroe Reflex except the RSX has polyurethane bushings. Hope that helps.

Just installed some Rancho RSX's tonight. Haven't had a chance to drive yet, but soon I'll post my impressions. The looked better than the Monroes so that was my main reason for buying them.
