sander · 01-04-2005, 06:04 PM

Yeah, well zeal isnt as crazy as the rest of them with 16+ clicks. zeal just has 6.
And id be interersted in the dynos for comparison (and thought other people may too)

to be honest, i'm pretty damn curious as well since there is so much hubub about them.

dctoast · 01-04-2005, 08:15 PM

ya that is odd...

It is not a great shock from what I saw, just better than a low of shocks that come in kits at that price range. Most kit shocks in that range (and some higher priced) are total junk. I am not concerned about the Omnipower as competition for the Koni Sport even off the shelf- an apples and oranges comparison if real funciton is expected

NO. I have never EVER heard of any problems with Zeal, and they're two entirely different companies/designs.
