I got to ride in Shadi's JKU with Radflows yesterday. WOW. I never knew what a difference they could make.
They are definitely for expert drivers only. A newbie would never learn to get a feel for the car, and would probably kill themselves in a week. But for an experienced driver - WOW.

RadFlow bypass is great if you are willing to live with the noise they make. They have some good engineering built into them.
Pros
- will dampen bumps better than any shocks available in the UAE market if configured correctly on rough terrain
cons
- pricey
- sudden turns on high speed will cause one of your front tires to lift in the air significance reducing stability on the 2.5" lift. For me, High speed drifting is a no no with those shocks.
I know there are a number of guys with RadFlow installed on their rides. I'm very interested to hear what they have to say about them.

I have radflos on an FJ and don't hear any noise. Maybe this is the sound proofing of the FJ. The car handles far better on and off road, the biggest difference is traction which is much improved. Also never lifted a tire on a sharp turn and I have driven aggressively with them, not sure if this is due to the set up, I have the stage 4 radflos, which includes upper control arms, or how I take sharp corners. I would recommend then any day.

The ones fitted on FJs are not bypass. Radflo bolt-on bypass shocks are only available for JKs. You maybe able to fit a bypass shock on the FJ but with significant modification (usually, you will have them as a second shock supporting the coilover setup).
I went from Fox internal bypass to Radflo bypass on my JKU. The difference is huge in favor of radflo. They are noisy though.
