Best setup

[Architects]

Its break time for me from school and I have a month off. With christmas money and busting my *** hopefully by the end of January I can have new suspension. Granted If I can make up my mind. I only ride mx. Keep in mind Ive never raced but want to start as soon as I get my suspension.


Ive gone back and forth from derisi full conversion to LT. Everyone says just get it over once and go Lt. The problem is if I do this I have to leave out many other parts I still need. Steering stabilizier, Steering stem, Beadlocks.

I tihnk I would be much more competive in C class with


Mx derisi conversion with link (775)
+2 arms (575)
Axle (350 )
Twin row bearing carrier (130 )
anti fade locknut (120)
rear beadlocks (300)
+1 anti vibe steering stem (280)
Stainless brake lines (75)
1 1/8 bars (65)
Stick steering stabilizer (130)

= 2800

Vs

Fox float evols (1200)
+2 arms (775)
axle (350)
Locknut (45)
Derisi rear shock conversion. (275-300??)
+ 1 anti- vibe steering stem (280)

=2925

Granted this is retail and I am getting some deals are like new used parts so prices will be cheaper but what are you guys opinions? I think option 1 is the way to go until I move up to B class.

well u dont need a locknut, find used beadlocks on here, save ur self somemoney and buy parts that you will actually need, get sum used elkas or peps off here too

Locknuts are cheap why not get one. My main point is that I can get more parts if I go with ST right now. I will eveutally have LT front and rear. It will also allow me to practice and race more this summer.

Ive looked at doing a used Lt setup but its still expensive. How much do you guys have into your Lt setups?

[exrider49]

i was in the same situation you were in, i got used elka ST off here and i am gonna send out my rear shock to gt thunder or c&d...you are just satrting racing so you dont need LT

Exactly what I was thinking. But I rode my first widened quad the other day with some revalves and a steering stabilizer and let me tell you it blew my mind how fast you can take corners. It was also a ton smoother through the whoops and landings and his shocks were valved for 265 lbs. Im about 165 geared.
