Anyone use MTS springs or full sets? Price is better than Shock Therapy. $1650 full set installed.

I know two people that run them on their X3 and are happy, they chose them over ST for the price.

I saw that I video wasn’t sure what to think. I rode with some x3 guys who were raving about the work there shop did and the set up.

My observation from watching the video was the performance was pretty much equal, with the MTS perhaps loosing the control edge. So many variables to consider including line of travel. Price difference would be a choice factor as I wouldn't purposely do what I saw in the test. I'd like to see stock,vs shock therapy, vs MTS.

I’m also trying to find out what MTS warranty is like ST is lifetime warranty

What are you talking about... Shock therapy is $650 for their springs

 

[Jlhens03]

What does mts charge for their springs. I Can’t find it on their page.

I think I would give the edge there to ST after watching the video. Both looked to perform very well. However, since that does not in any way, shape or form represent how I ride, it is kind of useless to me. I ride rough, rocky, slow trails and rock crawl. Show me a comparison in those conditions with speeds < 20 mph and that will mean something to me.

I was thinking the exact same thing. ST by a small edge, and I’d never ever drive or even ride like that. I probably wouldn’t drive half that fast!

Cool video though, I rarely finish something like that but I watched all of this one.

Sigh. I'm finding myself looking at vehicle pad scales for precise weight bias numbers, spring compressors, rebuild/tuning parts, oils. Planning a test track with specific obstacles for timed comparisons on the back 40.....these things are just a black hole.

Take a deep breath, everything’s going to be ok!

 

[Remote 8]

Yeah...I'll figure it out. One of the great joys in life is learning and execution of this kind of stuff. I'm just a little slow.

So you’re willing to spend $1000 for them to change the springs??? Send them to me and I’ll do it for $900!

But seriously.. this isn’t a difficult thing to do. I bought the Jacktech spring compressor ST uses and it’s stupid easy to swap springs.

I think they revalve the shocks for that price. (I could be wrong)

I would hope so.. but I’ve heard a couple folks say they didn’t think the revalve was necessary after they had it done.

I can see that.
If you’re riding the dunes or high speed desert, I can see where revalving would come into play. Otherwise no thanks.
