00 300ex mods? what to buy?

[bansheemorphine]

hey,
i have a 2000 honda 300ex with k&n air filter,jet kit, 22x7x10 razr front tires, and 20x11x9 razr rear tires, pro taperd bars and everything else is stock i do alot of jumpin and some racing and am trying to decide weater to buy shocks and wheel spacers or a sparks racing x-4 exhaust system

[300exOH]

Go for the shocks. You will be faster with good shocks than with a new pipe. Since you do a lot of jumping I would stay away from the wheel spacers.

Exhaust first.
Then Suspension.
No Wheel spacers especially if you ever jump.

But it really is a close tie between suspension and exhaust on a 300ex. The exhaust will cost you a couple hundred.. but the suspension will cost about double to get all 3 shocks. And you need all 3 on a 300ex.

If you do shocks for a couple more bucks I'd look at a shock relocator so you can use the longer (400ex length) shocks on your 300ex.

But then again since you do a lot of jumping.. you may want the shocks first. ;) Stock 300ex shocks are painful.. lol.

shocks first

[300ex mxracer]

get the shocks first, especially for racing. shocks will make u go faster than if u get an exhaust. if u dont have the $$ for 3 shocks, just get two for the front. the rear shock s*cks but the frot shocks are even worse so replace them with aftermarket ones first. wheel spacers will make some of your front suspension/steering parts more prone to breaking. not sure exactly what but ive heard some parts will break.

[bwamos]

Yea, the fronts are defintaly worse.. as well as prone to breaking at the lower mount. Gotta love spot welds on a shock... lol.

2 front dual rates won't cost that much. Get the rezzy option for sure. Piggyback or Remote either one is great. (don't forget to look into a shock mount relocator for the longer shock option) Can get a lil more wheel travel and let it sag more at the same time w/o affecting the ride height.

[300ex mxracer]

which are better, dual rate w/ rezzies or triple rate w/o rezzies. triple rate w/o rezzies are $100 cheaper

shock relocator? where can i buy one? wha typr of shocks should i buy? is there a plae online where i can buy all 2 things?

[hondardr05]

I was told by quite a few people not to put the shock relocator on, just to save my money and buy decent a arms for the front and suspension made for the 300 and it would handle much better, for a year and a half I ran with my wheels inverted to get 2.5 inches wider on each side and had my works performance front shocks on stock a arms and I was getting around 20-25 feet, 10-15 feet high tabletops and doubles like that and never broke anything, and I'm 5'5'' and 160lbs but the spacers I wouldn't trust to do that, just spend your money on nerf bars first if you dont have them on yet and you're racing but after that: front suspension, exhaust and K@N, 400ex carb and rev. limiter...

u can get the shock relocator and a-arm widening kit from www.diamondjcustoms.com
