Santo - Pro Quad rider. Very easy to contact and nice to talk to. HE will never rush you off teh phone and he always wants to get things done the right way the first time.


Laz - Hard to contact some people have difficulties contacting.


in the end, you will end up with a very similar setup. I went with Derisi and I will continue to use him as my shock builder.

I would half to say DeRisi. He built the shocks on my 300 and did a great job. And very helpful. I also bout a 450r off of him back in October and u would not believe how far he went out of his way to help me out with getting this thing setup for me. Not to mention all the work he did to it be for I got. It was like a brand new quad when I picked it up. You just cant ask for a better person to deal with. And that’s not even the half of what he did for me.

Can't go wrong with either of them. Both stand-up businessmen. I've had work done from both with great results!

I have had great experience with GT Thunder.

I have not used Santo's services, but have spoke with him many times in person and he is a SUPER nice guy and very willing to talk with you. I would be willing to give Santo my money as well.

I did not have a good experience with C&D racing.

Just got my shocks back from santo and wow what a difference. Santo is cheaper too. His work was great and great guy to talk with. He walked me through the rebuild and asked all about my riding style to get them dialed in.

I would go with Santo. He has the best customer service. I have had two set of shocks revalved by him. First was my stock ones, and the second set was my Elka shocks. He is the only person who I will ever let work on my shocks.

Well if u bought a shock or shocks from some one else that DeRisi did they probley needed to be rebuilt. Shocks or like your engine they have to be serviced on a regular bases. plus more than likely the shock or shocks weren’t set up for you. DeRisi will build you a single rate rear shock, he built one for my brother. When it comes to rear shocks you have to realize that a sign rate rear shock is better for bigger riders and if your just a lil guy your better off with a duel rate rear shock.
