There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

This is the way to go. The BRP sway bar in the kit you're looking at is a complete waste of time. Technically stiffer. But function is impossible to discern from the original bar.
The Fox Shocks, however, are a legitimate upgrade. Now you're going to say: 'These are for an F3 and I have an RS!'. The Eye to eye distance is just 3/8" longer than the stock shocks which will not make any appreciable difference. And they work great! I've had several customers put these on their RS or ST with very good results. For the price, they are AWESOME!

I have a Baja Ron Swaybar and these shocks on my RS. Both are great. I don't know how the upgraded BRP swaybar performs? I'd definitely upgrade your RS with these Fox shocks but I wouldn't pay the $849 price on ebay for them.
when you say these shock, did you mean ones for F3 bajaron posted or one I posted for RS?
$259 on ebay for F3 shocks.
if these shock are somewhat comparable to low tier elka, it is a huge bargain for 260. sway bar, I really didn't have a high hope for but it was kinda 2 for 1 kind of deal.

There isn't much information out there. I agree. I'm going on customer feedback. Many were very leery because these are not listed for the RS or ST models. But the frame geometry is very similar. I suspect that the spring rate, hydraulic valving, etc., may be a bit heavier for the heavier F3 version. But the Fox shocks for the previous models were a bit week (IMHO) anyway. Which seems to be a typical approach by BRP.
The bottom line is. They are at least comparable to the kit you referenced. You're not paying for a virtually worthless sway bar. And I think you will be very happy with them. Everyone else I've recommended these to were well satisfied. For the price. It is a pretty incredible deal.
I don't mean to disparage the BRP 'Upgrade' sway bar that comes in the RS/ST upgrade kit. But believe me. We tested this bar before I ever bothered to make a sway bar kit for these models. Several experienced riders tested the BRP bar on a twisty course and were unable to discern any difference from the stock bar. But, when we swapped out the stock shocks for the Fox, the difference was quite evident.
I try to recommend what I know works. That is what I want to hear when I'm looking for an upgrade and I assume everyone else is the same. Still, it is just one man's opinion and everyone should do their due diligence and come to their own decision as to how they want to proceed.
The Spyder is just so AWESOME when set up correctly.
