shee shocks

[yes se-r]

i searched and didnt really get any feedback so im posting now:
are the banshee front shocks worth it?
my shocks are shot, the po spray painted them and they look like sh*t and im in the process of putting my a arms in so i figured while everythings apart im gonna replace the shocks but i dont have a lot of cash to throw so i read this is a cheap alternative and they are better than stock...

i found a nice 2004 set for $100 but that seems a little steep too..anyone?

 

[blasterfreek30]

thats seems abit high....i think i paid 70 shipped for mine.............but another 100 u might be able to find a used set of works

 

[yb200]

you can pick some up off ebay for under 100

I like mine for the firmness and length, I had to pay about 100 CAN shipped, I sort of had a stock shock that was blown, and thought the shee shocks would be a good replacement and it was worth it, if I do say.

Check it out

I got mine 20 shipped off ebay, i was the only bid but w/e. if you look you can find a good deal, 100 is a bit much. They are decent upgrade over stock

and yea i was looking on ebay. apparently searching banshee shocks doesnt bear fruit. im gonna hit up craigslist and see where that gets me

progressive fronts are much better than banshee shocks, if your willing to pays the extra money, they are about $275 shipped. they also have a warranty and don't raise the front like banshee shocks so you get better handeling.

 

[stephen12091985]

^^^ they only raise it like a 1/2''

 

[jbblaster]

all of this prices sound high. you can find some good ones easily for 30 or 40 bucks.

i just won some off of ebay for 13 bucks shipped. they looked like sh*t because the orig owner spray painted them red. but jus tkeep an eye out there are alot of good deals out there. and try when searchign to use banshee suspension it worked better for me when i was searchin

 

[yes se-r]

ill keep that in mind and im trying to be on a budget here so no to the progressives, i dont mind the 1/2" lift and yeah thanks for everything so far guys
