That sounds about right to me too. Uncoincidentally that correlates nicely with their cost of entry too

Suspensions are lot like any other mechanized product. The more you spend the better performing and happier you will be. All of the brands mentioned above make a quality product. Spending more will get you a better lap time though and better overall ride in general (comparing apples to apples, not street vs track focused units).

I can still remember when the high end shocks like JRZs first hit the prepared club racing scene. The guys running them were suddenly seconds up on the rest of the field.
