i was wondering if trx 450r shocks front and rear shocks make a difference on a 88 250r with +3 a-arms and if people like the 450r rear shock

Can't say anything about the front but with a little work the rear fits and isn't bad but you have to take out the snorkel because the ressi is attached unlike the stock 250r is. I don't think the rear is worth losing the snorkel. Only reason I did mine was because my rear oem shock was toast and it was a temp fix. I am getting the oem rebuilt and put back on before this season.

they seemed a little long on the stock 250r arms for me. It kept the front too high, but they did land the jumps alot better. I still have them if you are looking for a set $100 + shipping.

did the 250 front end set the same height as stock after gt set them up or was the front end still setting up higher than stock?
