Re: Starting a best shock argument !

I think how it's setup has a lot to do with it. I can make any shock a poor performer with my oil and disc choice.

Somebody above mentioned the AYK Pro Radiant shocks too. A good call. I have found these to be excellent and buttery-smooth.
Back in the day though, I only ever ran Option House Golds. On everything. The first thing I changed on my CAT XL, 870c and my Works 91 were the shocks. For me they were the best available.
Your collection of Brimod bits is simply awesome!
As a teenager I worked at a local hobby shop building kits for the owner, who happened to be sponsored by Tamiya. He had the most decked out Fox I had ever seen and he sported Brimod shocks which I used to drool over. If I ever get ahold of some, I plan to build a replica of his Fox, he used to wipe the floor with that thing on club racing weekends.
