Rebuilt rear or aftermarket

[snacob14]

Well, I just had a xc race with my new front setup. gibson elka...absolutely awesome. but now my stock rear with a gtt link is not keeping up. I could soak up the rough stuff in the field sections but my rear would catapult me off the seat. will a stock rebuild give me what I'm looking for to keep up with the long travel front or do I need to go with something aftermaket. Also, what will I look for used. Do I need something that is specifically built for my stock rear with gtt rear link, or is a standard aftermaket shock going to work?

I have a gt thunder rebuild and link for mx racing and I have never had a problem with it. It is not too far behind some of the elka/axis set ups I have riden.

and its only like 400 bucks with the link, correct?

I have the GTT rebuild with link for XC and love it.

But how will it compare to an aftermarket? and what is the cost for just a shock rebuild?
