I have all stock on the front and rear. The rear does fine but the front is kinda spongy. I was wondering how much it would cost me to go from stock to a set of +2 a arms and aftermarket shocks. I am willing to sell my stock stuff or just trade it with some cash for the upgraded stuff. If anybody is interested... say so! I weigh 170lb and am gonna use the 400 for mx racing... By the way I want used arms and shocks.

ya, and u get the cheap rec. shocks.




between $1800 and $2400 if u bought brand new. and without any trading on used stuff ur prolly looking at between $900 and $1200 depending on the condition of the stuff

New you are talking minimum of $1,500 for good quality MX set up. (I'm thinking Houser a-arms and shocks with reservoirs)

Used?

You can usually figger on half of new....IF you can find it.

Myself, I'd never buy used shocks.

Its kinda like I advise people on handgun purchases for self-defense....... How much is your life worth? $300? $500? Get the good stuff.

Trust me the rear blows *** also. Last wed i was at the track i case the 70ft alittle bit and it bottomed out like crazy. The rear is just as bad as the front.
