does this sound like a good start?

[redline201]

i dont want to spend alot of money but i do want to upgrade from the stock suspention. how does this sound for a buget build.

banshee shocks up front
400 ex shock in the rear
g force rear axle
flipping my front wheels to widen the stance a little

im mainly using this quad to stunt and some home made jumps
not looking to hit 30 ft doubles or anything

yea thats what im doing. To save a little money, you could get those 4" spacers for the rear wheels. I have had them on mine for a couple years, and it hasnt shown any signs of stress on the axle at all.

I have my front wheels flipped, and shee front shocks, and those spacers. I love it, just getting ready to buy a 400ex shock too. So i say go for it man!

i love my 250r rear shock. i think it may be a more direct fit than the 400ex.. but, i've never seen one up close.

i have some 4" spacers ordered. and i have banshee shocks one the front.. better than stock, but not compared to my 250r rear.

Don't banshee shocks raise the front end up about 2 inches?

well, they may raise it a little ... but you do have adjustments... i want my quad slightly higher in the front anyway.

i wouldent go 4 inches i find that a little to large and up front 1.5 is the most because anything more screws up the turn radious and the hubs plus it dosent look bad because nothing really sticks out but if you go anymore your screwed down the road

I want to lower my front and raise my rear, so when sit on it, it won't look like it is bottomed out in the rear.....

 

[flyers42091]

Get a front lowering kit off ebay and put the on a 250r shock that raises you up 3 inches in the rear. Probably would handle bad though.

 

[blasterman312]

speed wobble.....maybe so, but I know where to get the stuff to do this lol

 

[blasterman312]

I can make a front lowering kit at school biatch! LMAO

 

[flyers42091]

yeah you probably could, lol. some people aren't good with that stuff though

We were talking about 4" spacers for the REAR not the front.

Can anyone give more info on the Banshee front shock conversion. i.e. what is the benifit?... what is required to make it fit?... what is the change in ride height?

That would be great, thanks.

its a much better shock, its a direct bolt on, and it will only raise the front end a hair.
