Which revalve/link would best complement a JB/PEP front end...

also, which one is cheaper:p

Well i noticed that GTT uses a single rate spring, and Derisi uses a dual rate zps... would that be better since ill have zps front shocks, or does it really make a differance.

I haven't ridden a dual rate with a linkage for the rear, Im sure both work just as good as the other. It just depends on what everything is setup for.

I find it hard to believe that GT Thunder is cheaper. I would call Derisi and talk to him about it.....I have a full set of revalves from him and they are the best money I have spent on my quad. Santo is such a nice guy its hard not to do business with him.

You won't go wrong with either choice. I had Laz at GT Thunder custom tune my Elka's for my old 400ex last season and it was an amazing difference. Everything landed much smoother and was a plusher ride. It was an Elka/Houser mx setup. O, and it was a single rear spring, didn't seem to make any difference compared to dual.
