So would upgrading to the banshee shocks be a recommendation? I dont wanna blow $$$ just to say I have banshee shocks on the front and they aren't much better.

All opinions appreciated!!

people say they can feel the difference, but you have to remember there not like 250 yfz shocks, but they are better than the stock shocks

Okay Im wanting a 250r rear shock. Alot of the ones I've been seeing on ebay says the trx ones are 86-87 but the Atc ones are 85-86. Im guessing the Atc ones are longer until 87 maybe??

well a few people have been asking about a banshee rear shock so hear it is.

Banshee rear shock
Ok a banshee rear shock isn't a good upgrade in my opinion, it is shorter than a blaster's therefore it will lower the rear by about 2- 3 inches. Also because it is shorter it doesn't let the swing arm use all its travel. I really don't think that it will that much better than a blaster's as its too short. I'm not sure if its a direct bolt on as so little people try it as its so short.
