Has anyone done a rear coil over conversion on there G4 summits?

Just wondering if you noticed the rear skid holding less snow or if handling characteristics have improved any?

I run a baker rear arm, couple guys I ride with run a zbros coil over. Don’t think they hold less snow, but noticeable ride difference and ability to adjust to keep the nose down

I had a coilover rear on my t3.

Was good, I dont think it was any better than the torsion springs, but a tiny bit lighter and looks cleaner.


Might be more noticeable on a g4, but its the exact same skid though.

No difference in snow clearing but way more adjustable. I have a full Elka setup and love it!

I've got Tom's e-motion with fox evols on my 19 turboed 850 165. Way more free moving than the tmotion and notice its also way more predicable than t-motion, way more adjustable than stock. Front end stays down but I installed a z-link at the same time so that might be why. Notice about the same amount of snow but easier to clean and looks way better.
