Which shocks? 450R or YFZ 450?

[Spider 171]

Looking to upgrade my old Z 400's which are better, are they both the same length? I can get either for about the same price so which would be better?

Thanks

yfz shocks are much better

yfz shocks, but yfz shocks take more time to get on, you have to grind them down and stuff. the 450r shocks are bolt on and go...

Why not get 05 and up Z shocks?

Or the LTR shocks?

The Honda and Yamaha lower the quad a little correct, I didn't know the LT450R will work, and aren't they oversprung, so for stock A-Arms, that will probably be too stiff?

Thanks for the input.

yea you wont want ltr shocks, they bolt up but there too long... if you wanna do it right get 05/06 z shocks and get them rebuilt zps style so it will ride perfect and sit low. if your on a tighter budget get the trx or yfz shocks, it will sit a lil lower and feel better then stock 03/04 shocks

yfz shocks are too short dont waste your time.. get 450r shocks or ltr or 05+ Z's
