FX5 Shocks?

Does anybody have any information on FX5 Shocks? I've seen them in RKSport's catalog but not online, and was just wondering where I could get some more info on them. I think I've only seen one member here with them. Any help would be appreciated.

Not to be a smart-***...but this is not what I would consider "information on FX5 Shocks."

Actually, I'll look into those--but I'm still curious about the FX5's.

It was just a suggestion, gheesh.

The HAL's are proven and are awesome set-up for both the track and street, being that they are 12 way adj.

By there " these shocks can do it all" saying? hehe

They are the real deal, just kinda pricey.
But good look with the FX5's..

More gimmick than usefull, and wont take much spring, no point in buying such a product IMO. If it didn't cost much more to get in-cockpit adjustments for my Koni DA then I might do it.

This is what I was kind of thinking along the lines of. It seems they do an awful lot for so little. If they were really all they seemed, I would think there would be more information about them out there.

But what about people that don't really get into AutoX and just want something a little better tan stock but can still easily adjust for "comfort". By the way, what is the cost for the FX5 system? I was looking into it as well but couldn't find any info on the net either. Maybe I should get a catalog?

I think the complete system sells for $459.00. You can get a catalog but it is of little help. All it basically says is that you can adjust them from the cockpit or you can adjust them individually. I may get a wild hair up my **** and call RKSport myself to see if they can supply any additional info.

Okay, I got the wild hair and decided to call RKSport (probably what I should have done in the first place).

RKSport no longer sells the FX5 shocks!

So I guess that's that.

(I haven't seen them anywhere else so I don't where else to look--and a search on the web doesn't turn up any useful info either.)
