what shocks to buy ??????????

for more money you could get some used works fronts, ive seen em go for $150 a few times. but if you are stuck at around 100 like 01 said banshee fronts and a 400ex rear is a great upgrade and i think i spent like $75 combined on mine, just gotta look for deals I:I I:I :D
 
I have bought 2 sets of Works front shocks for $50 each set... One we are still using as we bough them, but the other we ended up sending to Works for rebuild. Was still a good deal for us, but that set ended up costing a bit more $$$...

So just know what you are buying, and watch the deals... You can find some great deals for that much $$$.

we also bought 2 400ex shocks for $25 for one set (near new condition), and another for $15 with semi fresh aftermerket work done to it).

The deals are out there.
