Dam impressed with that clean floor. Shocks Too. Clean floors make me sick. Can't ever make time to seal mine.

When we bought our new house I made the contractor do it. I had the kit to do my last house for 5 years and talked about it all the time. Never got it done...

Mine didn't ship until Monday. Did a 40 mile test and like CP said they make a huge difference. I used the soft position for most of the ride and the middle for a few miles. My 2016 Yamaha Wolverine had high end Fox Shocks so I expected a big improvement and wasn't disappointed. I really like the quick adjustment. Will be testing the middle and hard settings tomorrow. The install instructions say to remove the wheels. I didn't have to remove the wheels to do the install and the rear shocks have the adjustment switch facing more forward.

Both springs and valving are different between the 3P & 5P. The heavier 5P has heavier springs and valving. QS3 =

Some one else posted this info.
The QS3 tool-free adjuster allows for simple repeatable suspension setting changes on the fly. Its wide range of compression adjustment provides noticeable changes of ride quality and handling without the complications of counting clicks. Choose a QS3 setting that gives you the most confidence, comfort, or handling characteristics with just a “flip of a switch.”

All the aftermarket shocks will make a big improvement. I like the quick adjustment and my 2011 RZR 900 had fox shocks and they were still working great at 11,000 miles when I sold it. I did have to replace the tender springs after they squared out from constant coil bind. The next Improvement will be bucket seats or the 2017 seats if they are improved enough.

No specs but for low speed driving they work pretty good for $100 shocks. As the speed increases its easy to bottom out and I just hate to bottom out due to the shock load to the suspension and frame. On the RZR it would elongate the thin frame tabs for the A-Arms. Now I don't have to slow down as much and the fun factor is more like a Sport model. The seating improvement is next and maybe a 5 point harness.

Just did 74 miles and they are better then I expected. Better them my 2016 Yamaha YXZ and my buddies 2016 Wildcat 1000 at speeds under 30 mph. The soft setting works great on the wash board. I used the middle setting on most of the ride and really like the quick adjustment.

Thats awesome to hear! If you get a minute it would be awesome to see a quick video clip or pics. Did you feel like the small bump compliance was better/ more active at slow speeds?

So it looks like the Fox shocks are priced per pair? With the MSRP at 879.95 per pair? Sorry if I missed something here, but it didn't look like anyone has confirmed this.
