*Randal 180 and Paris 180.

paris are gravity cast and have a better bushing seat in my opinion, they also have the kingpin attached to the base plate were as randals do not.

Randal 180's can come other degree baseplates where paris are only 50 or 52, cant remember.

and paris hangers life time guarentee.

paris stock bushings are actually alright where randals are shit as in my opinion

R-2s have rake
flipable - 180 marking out gives a truck that wants to carve and roll onto its rail and fipped they have trailing rake and this gives more return to centre and more stable ride. Flipping them will NOT affect the hanger angle. Rake gives you two different rides from the same truck BUT at a small sacrifice to grip (not enough to really care)

R-2s have a long kingpin to axle distance which makes them taller, gives more leverage and adds to the super fun carve. This distance also has a small loss to traction but once again not huge.

paris has a more restrictive bushing seat which a lot of people including myself seem to love. they also have beefier hangers but i dont think many people have experienced bent randals (do not quote me) because they are pretty solid. everyone else has pretty much said it

I've tried both and a would always choose paris over randal \, pretty much becuase of the reasons above

they both bend relatively easily, after a few months of heavy riding they will both be slightly bent, but this is nothing new, most cast trucks are like that.

paris cant handle elim bushings.

i personally prefer randals because of their feel when u put elims in em. pure awesomeness.

Both brand's parts are interchangable. just try it and see.
