They are the piggyback remote res. version of the 5100. They pretty much have all the same good characteristics of the 5100's but with better fade resistance/cooling capacity since they are not an emulsion shock like the 5100. No first hand experience but you can't really go wrong with them for general use.

i know that you can't use them up front because they won't fit inside the coils.

The 5150 reservoirs are attached piggyback style; no hose. How do you like those King's? I just got my front and rear set from Don put on last week and they are great!!!

Get he Kings for the rear too...do it once...do it right!

You need almost zero compression dampening...and a TON of rebound dampening.
