Has anybody here owned and flown both and how do they compare. I'm trying to make a decision on which to go with. Have an option to do either. Any body have 100 landings on both to give me a fair evaluation.

I'm just installed springs on PA18, only 15 landings on 8.50 tires and straight skis and I'm very satisfy. No bumps. I had expensive hydrasorbs before and one shock had broken ( it was very weaks ).
Have good day

You might want to check out Larry Bauer's new Cub suspension. Pretty sweet. Dual spring setup with nice custom fairings. Hey says no more spring sag and if they do sag you can adjust them. That's what I am going with for my project. PM me if you need his phone number. I have a photo I can scan.

spring vs hyfrasorb

Hay that is one good idea on a spring /cub gear !
now what if we could find some small air shocks to replace the springs?
