I vote fox coilovers a little bit a darer than FOA but in my opinion they are far superior.

Traxion distributors is now the NZ supplier of Radflo.seems comparable to fox quality

Thanks for the in put guys.i was swaying towards fox, when searching the net "Kings" seem to come a lot....but don't no anyone running them.

Kings are popular this side of the ditch fair bit pricier than Fox tho by the sounds of it. Fox seems to be well supported in NZ.
What are you planning on using them for?

FOA are extremely good value for money and better than Radflo and a lot less expensive than both Fox and Radflo. Sure they don't have the superficial colour anodised bits. Check out some of the class 6 and 8 off road race trucks using them, the numerous winch challenge trucks using FOA, and some of the off road race buggies are also using FOA.

This class 8 uses all FOA shocks and bump stops, 2nd in class at the 2013 Woodhill 100.


Klem (TeLexs on here) has been running FOA shocks in his supercharged Hilux for years.

Talk to him and get some first hand feedback.

We use FOA in our own truck, and yes we're the NZ FOA distributors so might be a bit biased but the results speak for themselves.

I am still at the build stage so have no first hand feed back, but I did a lot of research and pricing. Looked mainly at Fox, King and FOA. For the amount of offroad racing I am planning on I could not justify Fox at basically twice the price of FOA. Reading overseas forums it appears FOA have had their problems, but it seems that 99% of people had really good back up from FOA. Also it seems that they have sorted a lot of their issues.

Guess I will see in a few months. So far Warren has been excellent to deal with.

P.S King shouldn't cost you more than Fox. Look at down south motorsports.
