i am wandering how much of a difference gettinng your stock shocks rebuilt by like GTThunder or C&D really makes. I am thinking about doing this because i am on a tight budget but i don't want to do it if it's not worth it.
Does it really make that much of a difference. if so How much.

so like when you put them on your bike you could definately tell a difference. Like they would perform better than any stock shocks our there right.? I mean is it a night and day difference or like a little improvement difference?

Its obviously a pretty big difference, listen to the praise above! For the money, your not going to get a better deal when running standard travel suspension. The TRX shocks respond really well to the stock rebuilds, I would check into GT Thunder. I know he will respring and revalve your fronts and rear for aftermarket a arms and swinger, and he also has his own linkage to go along with it.

derisi racing all the way...I love them. Also, if i werent sponsored by derisi, colby over at C&D would have been doing my shocks. He also does great work. Heres a pic of the derisi style XC Dual Rate Revalves.
