first of all, pretty sure you cant get 19 inch shocks on a shee, second of all, there arent any wanna be shocks, just shocls for diferent purposes

yes, they do make 19 inch shocks for banshees, but there acually 17 inch. im going to try to make my own arms. ive never done this before but if it does work then i save a lot of money. i was going to make the arms but not make the shock mounts so when i buy them i no where to line them up.

How exactly are you going to make your a-arms? Do you have the proper tools and materials? I'd like to hear exactly how you plan on making your own a-arms.

Yea I saw your thread...I think you should highly reconsider making your own a-arms. It really seems like you don't know what you're talking about and that can lead to something going wrong.

It's easier said than done, if you read what the guy in the other thread was talking about when building his Mojave arms, there is a lot more to the geometry and how the a-arms work. If you change anything around it's going to cause a problem without changing something else to compensate for it.

I would much rather just leave this stuff to the professionals IMO:o

I have a set of works on my 400Ex and love the difference from stock. wanted to get tcs but did not want to spend 800-900 bucks. Wanted to put the money into the 416 kit.

i atleast wanna try to make my own arms. ig they break, ill make some new ones and just learn from my mistakes, but i dont thing they are. im not the kind of person that will buy something thats 800 without even trying to make it myself. so, im making them no matter what anyone says.
