FX-3 Rebuild or New?

Good advice. Thanks. I somewhat expected a few people to chime in saying how wonderful the revalved shocks are, but since no one has, new shocks seems the smart choice for now.

Thought I'd follow up with this, mainly to share a possible good new find for the group - Delta Vee Motorsports.

The way things played out, I've ordered two new rear shocks (from AJ USA - very good price). I discovered one of my rear shocks had a bent shaft. My front shocks feel and look new-ish, so I'll stick with them for awhile. I also discovered my top bushings needed replacing, so I ordered them from DRM.

While searching for rebuild/revalve info, I came across these folks:

I spent a few minutes on the phone with them and got a very good feeling that they're knowledgeable and experienced with FX-3 shocks. They helped me decide what to do at this time, and options for the future.

It was a good phone conversation, so I wanted to share the discovery with you folks.
