what weight shocks to get? HLS?

[zmaro]

So when looking at used shocks I wonder what weight to get. I am around 130ish pounds but now have +2 a-arms. So what weight should I look for, 150,180? Is there some kind of equation to go by like torque = force x distance?
Also, I know pickledbeets recommended HLS shocks. Does anyone have any input on them? I think I can get a new set for my weight for under $300, which is better than the price for works.
Thanks

150 should work fine for you.. talk to the guys at hls they should know

Yea if I got new shocks I would specify that they are for extended arms, I was just wondering a estimate for used shocks.

get them for what you weigh with riding gear on...

if you are buying new, there is no reason not to get the for the right weight... and IDK about HLS shocks, but look up motowoz. they are amazing...

you want to be within 20 pounds of your weight. so if you 130, you should get them from 110-150.....
