[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 727892, member: 16552"] Your suspension will turn out as good as the person working on it, probably. MX-tech did mine. Wow...$340? I wish mine cost that much!! What, prices are 1/2 what they used to be? When I got mine back, I wasn't particularly impressed. Wondered why I spent [b]so[/b] much money for not too much effect. Then I rode my buddy's kdx that still had the oem suspension. Guess I didn't recall correctly how incredibly lousy the oem setup was. It about scairt me to death!! I've tried some other stack setups on jeremy's hardware (input from another tuner). Changed it back. It would be nice if they (mx-tech) would be nice enough to share their latest stack setups with riders already riding their stuff, but last time I asked about it I got shutdown pretty quick. Guess if I paid [b]only[/b] $340 I wouldn't mind so much. Maybe I'm just speshul? Believe it or not, there is a point here. There is some FM going on with stack configurations. If you know all there is to know about 'em, that's great. I don't. So, best to trust in a tuner you have faith in. Even that's not always the ticket. The stack change I mentioned I tried came from a tuner that has an excellent reputation. I've ridden his work on another kdx and it was terrific. He massages the oem hardware and revalves it. He did make clear that he was [b]not[/b] familiar with the mx-tech hardware (the base valve) so was just guessing on the valving. It was more of an experiment than anything else. I didn't care for it as much as jeremy's work. The opposite was true of the shock valving, but that's another story. MX-tech does good work! I had some trouble with the springs that 'came with'..but jeremy was right on the ball when it came to getting it sorted out. re: pros and cons. The people that like gold valves think they are great. The people that don't think they are a waste of breath. ...kinda goes back to the faith and trust isssue, 'eh? Things like clicker settings, oil levels and preload make a huge difference no matter [b]who[/b] does the valving. [/QUOTE]
