Jet Suspension

[quadmanw]

Has anyone ever sent 450r shocks to Jet or has anyone purchased their shocks? They seem very reasonable and have discounts and I am looking to have my 450r fronts rebuilt and my 400ex rear rebuilt. I am also looking to get the GTT XC link. If anyone has any info or are familiar with them, let me know. Thanks in advance!

I have had good experience with GT Thunder but i heard Jet might be better. GTT is like $250 with the link for the rear shock and im not sure what Jet charges for the rear

[quadmanw]

Correction $345**** sorry lol

I talked to nick @ jet on the phone, he is a REALLY nice guy and answered everything I asked. If I hadnt found a derisi revalve and GTT link used I was going to do the entire thing thru them.

GTT does good work, but I have heard they are slow and sometimes dont setup the shocks for your weight properly.

You could also contact Dustin_J I know he does suspension work.

I am thinking about doing the same thing as the thead starter but i also don't know who have send them to? I want a double or triple rate spring kit to.

I sent my 400ex rear shock and had it all redone by JET and so far ive been happy with it. this is the first time sending a shock anywhere to be redone so I cant really compare to anyone else. I had it revalved for my weight and got the dual rate spring setup which is suppose to be "better for XC than a single rate", but I dont know if it really is or not. I think at the end it costed me around 400$ I think? If I ever get another shock revalved or something I may try GT Thunder or something.

[D3structive]

dual rate shocks are nice, you bottom out less and when you do its with less velocity than single rate.

[Pipeless416]

when i'm ready to have my elkas redone, jet will be getting them for sure.

[quadmanw]

They seem to be pretty good. Won't be doing it for awhile but I can't decide of if they will be going to Jet or GTT

[quadmanw]

So what do you guys think? I ride and race XC so should I go with single, dual, or triple? Im looking to do this pretty cheap but I still want a huge improvement in suspension. And if anyone has a XC GT link for sale let me know. Thanks

Dual fronts and dual rear. Id also do +1 arms.

[quadmanw]

I already have +2 haha. When I do it I'll probably go with Jet they seem reasonable. I also need to purchase a GTT link

[CJM]

450r shocks, they need to be shortened and setup but are worth it.

[quadmanw]

I have those too lol. Jet would do that when I send them in, right?
