This go round though I got my xt8 this week off of ebay, but the guy did me right, it is basically new. no scratches even on the bottom of the chassis. If it had new wheels and mud guards you would never know it had been run at all. i still think is will ease the pain of the first few runs.

What do you think of the shocks, do you feel compelled to up date to the 2009 spec shocks. I don't think I do right now, but I like not having to use preloads on the 2009s.

I have to say I almost prefer a used kit so I don't sweat the first run like this. There is no going back after the first run....lol. Its a sickness. It also propels my buying and selling compulsion as well.

On the 09 shocks, for my application the old clips will do for now. Even tho I do love the adjustable clean versions as well.
