shogs Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Are you just getting into the sport of riding or riding short track? If your not looking to put a bunch of money into it I wouldn't bother lowering it. If your talking about the kits on ebay that are just adapters I personally would think that those are junk. Up to you though sorry I don't have much advice other than that. Good luck finding what ya need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I put 300ex shocks on the front and an R6 shock on the rear. The R6 shock was only $25 shipped and the 300ex shocks were given to me. I think I'm going to buy a couple more R6 shocks and run them all the way around though, it will give it a little bit of a rake. The 300s make it sit a little high (1/2") in the front, opposed to the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you no if the R6 shocks will fit straight on or do they need moding and ive seen people use R1 shocks but dont no what there like to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well they will bolt right up to mine, but I have +2+1 a-arms. I think the R1s are the same as the R6, just a little stiffer. Regardless, whichever one you decide to use, you will need the ones with the rezzies that are mounted straight up and down, not the ones that are sideways. Also, in order to bolt it up to the rear, you will need to make some shims for the bolt holes on the dogbone and frame. The R6 shock eyes use a smaller bolt than the banshee. I can post some pics if you need me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
