I was on the Gr+. They didn't have Gr+ Pros when I was shopping.
My Powertrixes feel very similar to the, but have slight changes that I believe make them better. For one, that upper collar (which I removed) is pretty handy if left installed. Allows for easier rotation of the shock without affecting the preload. Also, I have aluminum shock bodies, which are 2-3 lbs lighter than the Stance set up. Not to mention I can always hit up Charles if there's a problem of any sort. his customer service alone persuades many buyers.

I'll post the pics here then.

Amount of droop before mod to attain my ride height:


Collar/ spacer that needs removal:


After removal:


The top nut actually runs out of threads before it can sit snugly against the top hat:


The fix? A spacer. I used a nylon one here as that was all I could find at the moment, but it currently has a metal spacer on now.



And now, practically zero droop:


Installed and me happy
