i was looking at getting a set of these instead of paying a fortune for other shocks were for my blaster but not sure if you would be using them on a raptor or if you were thinking for a blaster? if there for a blaster these are new.
Having ressies offers no more adjustment than no ressies, all they do is increase the volume of oil in the shock which allows them to tolerate more heat build up when they're being worked hard as shocks tend to get softer the warmer they get. focus on the Compression, Rebound, high speed & low speed damping adjustments depending on your needs and your riding ability more than anything else, for example do you ride hard enough that your shocks get real warm?
