my name is rashid, I'm from Oman and I'm building my piranha buggy powerd by yamaha R1's engine
i'll go directly through the subject now, actually i need your suggestion in choosing the right rear and front shocks for my buggy which will perform perfectly
I was planning to order fox 2.5 coil over with a reservoir 12inch travel and 33.5 inch exit length for the rear
for the front: fox 2.0 coil over with a reservoir 19.35 inch exit length
i didnt know which coils (upper and lower)to order? which rate?
anyone can help please?
all the best

Welcome to the site. The Piranha owners will chime in soon.

Bump - looking for the same info

unfortunately,most here here built the cuda or Doug Heims modified cuda.

I would think the 2.5" coilover in the rear would be overkill for a Pirannah. But unless someone has built exactly the same as you coils are gonna be different. Need to know corner weight, motion ratio, shock angle to get a good close answer. Even then I bet you'll have to swap some around to get it right. I would think the Edge guys could get you close, again aslong as you stay to plans.

A 2.5 is way to much. Something like a 8" coilover with reservoirs on the front and 10" to 12" on the rear depending on travel, coilover and reservoirs.
-
air shock would be my choice of kind of shock for this project. 2.0 size.

I don't know about a Piranha but these work great on Barracuda's................ I'm sure Doug would know.
