Flex A are similar to Zs on many accounts, but for higher price they are rebuildable/revalveable & have hydraulic bumpstops. I guess that due those bumpstops difference should be mostly at full compression with otherwise being not that different in beginning of travel. Speedbumps and such.
I heard both were made in Japan so i'm not too worried about that. In regards to rebuildable, isn't giving the ability to replace the shock make them some what rebuildable?

Guess i just want to know if that hydraulic bump stop is worth the extra price tag especially with the roads here.
