Ohlins or Axis?

I can trade my moto ohlins for a set of custom Axis. the custom Axis are valved for my weight, and the moto ohlins are stock, but the Axis aren't SSD. I need some opinions, I race MX and some occasional TT. I am also worried that the front end will be too high with the Axis and the rear will be too low with an SSD shock.

I thought I knew about shocks, but what is ssd?
I'd still go with axis

SSD - Self Sagging Device.

Zero-Preload is another name for it.

I'm pretty sure your PEP's are SSD Ryan. That is the tiny spring on the top that is compressed all the time, just from the quads weight.

Lowers the Center-of-Gravity:)

It sucks that it won't be a local quad anymore.

But at least it's known that it'll be going to someone that knows what there doing. And you'll know it won't be parted out, or used as a parts quad.
