hey guys im gonna be ordering some LT a-arms with in the month and really dont have the 1k+ to drop on elka's right now so im looking for somthing to hold me over for a while. my z is a 05 so its got the rezzies, and gt thunder will revalve, extend the travel and the hole 9 yards for 395$. is it worth it or is it worth it to maybe get the 450r shocks and have them rebuilt? tell me what u guys think. btw my riding is some trails but going to start getting into mx. once i get the suspenstion work done

thanks alot guys

LT a arms wont work with rebuilt stock z shocks or 450r shocks. your best bet is get some wider a arms and rebuilds, or look into a SMC/tcs LT front end, the whole thing should run around $1500

oops. scratch that SMC idea, i didnt realize they dont make a arms for the z... anyway, if you do go rebuilds, keep the z shocks and rebuild them. they where made for the bike and can be rebuilt to work perfectly, plus you already have them so you wouldnt be spending the money on 450r shocks and rebuilding those
