flyRTby Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Obviously STOCK banshee suspensions are JUNK! I'm trying to approach this the most cost/quality way possible. Currently my suspension is 100% stock. Most of my riding this season was at the dunes, although i do still hit the trails. I'm really not one to jump my shee either. I'm either free riding or straight lining! So I'm looking for a nice useable well rounded suspension that i could take to the trails/dunes/drag. My plan is to +4 my swing arm and more than likely +2 +2 my axle(I'm having a hell of a time keeping the front end down w/the stock swinger). But, as far as the rear shocks goes... Is it worth it to send it to socal have him re-spring/valve/gas/seal the rear shock? Or am i better of buying a new rear shock? If buying new is my better option, I'm open to your suggestions. Extend the front a-arms to a standard travel +2. OR do i simply just replace the front shocks and leave the a-arms stock. I found these two kits on ebay. and was wondering what you guys thought about them? Another thought was, am i better off spending the money on shocks only and holding off on the a-arms? (keeping in mind eventually i plan to go +2?) Front Elka Dual Rate Stage 1 w/LSR +2 a arms. 899.95 Elka Piggyback Stage 2 w/LSR +2 a-arms Thanks in advance!

So Cal Suspension Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm assuming this is Mike. PM me your number and I'll call you. The message broke up right in the middle of the phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06specialedition Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 A +4 Stellar swingarm was the first suspension upgrade on my duner, that alone made a good difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ2FLEE Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I don't mean to high jack a thread but I'm in the middle of upgrading as well, would a inch or two longer shock on a +2 +1 ARM setup allow more travel or just more of a plush ride? Or are the stock shock lengths fine if built for that application..... Edited November 12, 2011 by EZ2FLEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
