For anyone else out there who feels the Explorer Pro-Comp ES3000's are too fooking stiff, I just switched to ES1000's and could not be happier! They're still worlds beyond the factory shocks, but they don't make your Sporty ride like a buckboard wagon. And for those of you who like the rump-punishing ES3000's, I have a set for sale! Barely used, but with the tell-tale dent from the panhard rod mount on one of them. Heck, I'll even throw the light gray boots in for free! Don't need them since the ES1000's came with boots, as opposed to having to pay extra like I did when I bought the ES3000's.
