I've had my 2002 banshee for about 9 months now and the suspension is in dire need of refreshing. I've already purchased some used rebuilt/revalved Elka Stage 3's for the front and I'm trying to decide what to do with the rear. I would say I'm an intermediate rider with most riding done in the dunes (I'm in SoCal). The rear isn't terrible but isn't as fresh as I would like it. I came across an opprotunity to buy a used rebuilt/revalved Elka Stage 3 (from the same guy) for $420 but that is stretching my budget. My other options I see is to stick with what I have, get my stock shock reworked somewhere, or keep looking. I was hoping to get some opinions from the Banshee community to see what you would do. If you think I should rework the stocker, any recommendations for shops that do this (particularly in SoCal)?
Thanks for any input!
