Should I upgrade my Blur with the 5th Element from the standard issue Fox? Is $99 worth it if it's working okay???:?:

No. But that's my opinion. I've never personally tried the 5th elements or swingers but generally the fox shocks are supposed to be better performers.

I have a 5th Element Air on my Enduro that I absolutely hate. :protest: However; I'm 220 lbs., and I'm sure the valving is set for someone around 160 lbs. Of course, this is just my opinion.
 
I have a 5th coil on my Bullit and it's ok. But they all feel like crap compared to the Avalance on the big rig. :D

I'd say 99 bones is a steal for some of those shocks. I'd pick up a Swinger just to see the difference if I had an extra hundy right now.
 
Damn, if you try to add one to your shopping cart is says they're out of stock, and it says that with ALL of them. They can't have sold them all that fast, can they? I'll call them tomorrow. I wouldn't mind trying a swinger on my Bullit.

Please keep us updated after you speak with customer service, thanks
 
Shinken...you would have to measure the shock you have, from eye to eye, it should say on your coil spring or on the body of the shock, depending if it's air or coil. then find the same dimensions on the shock you want.
 
I called them up yesterday to see if they had any of the Swingers for my Bullit, but nada. They said that the website is very accurate, as it's updated every 15 minutes, so if it's out of stock on the site then it's out of stock. Bummer!

Well, that's it. I am 210 so that will not work. Thanks for the heads up!

That's still b.s. regardless if I was buying or not. Probably left over junk around the shop. I went by there 2 years ago and the place is like a tiny junky, messy wharehouse.
