So here is the info he sent me:

Hey Joel, So what I usually supply & build for Banshee’s is a pair of full adjustable piggyback shocks that I make the correct eye to eye and stroke length. I then re-valve them to your weight and the quads specs (the +2 arms). They have new shaft bushing’s,
o-rings, wiper and main seals. I remove, replace and stack the compression and rebound valve shims using the right diameter shims stacked in the correct order for your specs. Fresh synthetic oil, nitrogen charge to the correct psi. Once the shocks are built I resurface and paint the shock bodies special edition black using a high heat ceramic enamel paint. The progressive coil springs are sandblasted and powder coated to match the quad or desired color.
Cost of the shocks,build and re-valve would be $420 for the pair. Shipping is $25 so $445 shipped.
Also if your budget allows I would suggest having your rear shock rebuilt to your specs and to match the new valve to front shocks. Depending on your weight and the length of the rear swingarm cost would be between $150 and $190 for me to rebuild, re-valve and put the correct spring rate for your specs with everything I do to the front shocks including paint and powder coat.
If you have any questions at all or just want to pick my brain feel free to give me a call.
Thanks,

Um isn't a very important part of setting up a shock for your weight the spring rate? A heavier person would need a heavier springs, same with a heavier quad and a longer arm.

He seems like he really cares about putting lipstick on the shocks and not about making them work 100%. 

Does he dyno the shocks?

This is the reason I would never use Jogaca shocks. Anyone this guy named dropped is not worth being associated with. I wish more of the post were in that thread but ya he is bad.

Point taken. I will keep an eye out for some fox floats.

Until then, I'm just gonna get a cheap set of used stockers to replace my blown out shocks.

Thanks for all the help.

Has anybody been brave enough to try these? They look a little better than the original ones that originally started popping up on eBay. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F371802517728

 

These are the original ones I'm talking about. They look a lot weaker https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F391926925243

without resevoir

with resevoir

again very pricey for no name brand...

but in france 2 front suspension 2nd hand are 800-1000€ (elka emc ohlins) like every time there some cheaper one for sale, they get bought up by 2 names. like there are 2 names on leboncoin that sell loaads of suspesion for banshee or raptor 700 like atleast 20 listings... my guess it they buy them all up every time... and up the price.. cause i never seen any suspension for less then 500. cheapest was the EMC ones for 600 once aand still sold pretty quick and are now listed ofr 800 by those 2 resellers... i almost had olhins but was 5min to late to buy for 150€ and afors a week later i see them for sale by one fo them resellers for 800...  so aam looking on ebay aliexpress anywhere els then france. even doh i have alerts on leboncoin if am no within a minut on the items they sold and resold a week later... i missed out on some suspnesion of a brand i didnt know the time i looked up what that brand was (looked like drag suspension all chrome) 46€ 5min later the listen said sold me FUK week later some one relisted them 350€ they sold now. again the braand i never heard of, they do ssv buggy and bike suspension (already forgot the name) i didnt really press buy right away cause i didnt know if it were china suspensions...  i should have presssed buy and then look it up and caancel if they fake... but what ever to late now. that just my dumb brain. but yeah as u see 2nd hand is a pretty big expensive that is almost a month worth of pay... for some 2nd hand suspensions.... 

so yeah am actually curious where these aliexpress suspension come from never seen them befor this the first time, and price history goes back to 5 december only and nobody bought them so no reviews... but yeah 250€ without resevoir and 350€ with resevoir (and extra pressure setting) but where did it come from... why so expensive... looks like elka but aint elka cuase they look different.. 

am mainly looking for a cheap upgrade, my banshee 1988 suspensions suck they are not dual rate like warrior and raptor 350 are or any more recent banshee springs are. am almost tempted buying raptor 350 suspension they ride better (atleast on my raptor 350 but that feels like a useless sidegrade for 40-50€ u can get a pair of raptor 350 fronts) then my stock banshee, on rocky roads horrible hurting my arms horrible. on gravel aand forest not problem.
