Opinion on Suspension Upgrade. Preferably FireBall Racing.

  I have a 04 Banshee with a stock Front and Rear suspension. I already have a  extended axle. I mainly do play riding. I’m looking for some input on the FireBall Racing LT a-arms and there swingarm. Is there any pros or cons on there products ? I have the front & Rear shocks covered from a guy I work with . His 2 son’s race ATV MX and said he could hook me up on them.
 

So, Please help me! I want to be able to call FireBall Racing and talk to them and not seem like an idiot not knowing what I’m talking about.

Any input would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

I’ve done all of my business with Larry from Fireball.

I have their older gull wing style LT a-arms w/rebuildable ball joints.

Setting up your camber and more importantly caster is kind of a pain in the ass, but doable with a $30 digital angle finder from harbor freight.  Out of the box I had 10* of caster.

Great for high speed stability, but absolute shit to turn the bike.

I dialed in caster to 6* and now I can turn the bike on a dime.

Another awesome aspect is they can set you up with tie rods that use the heavier duty Raptor 700 tie rod ends.  The tie rod thread is a M10 rather than the Banshee M8.

19.25” is the length eye to eye.

BVC Racing hooked me up with custom valved Elka Stage 5’s.  Do I need Stage 5’s, hell no, but at the time they were the only Elka’s offered with the plastic spring guards.  Anyway, $1,500 shipped from BVC Racing. MSRP is $1,800.

I also have their +2+1 chromoly steering stem.

And a +2 gusseted swing arm.

All very top notch!

FYI, Fireball makes a ton of suspension components for many different brands...
