The following questions are for Works triple rate w/ ressivors for a honda 400ex with +2 a-arms.


1. Will these shocks help in handling over STOCK?

2. Will they increase my shock travel over stock?

3. Will i get more ground clearance over stock?

4. Will they lower my fourwheeler over stock shocks?

My old set of Works had about an inch of sag as well. Not a huge difference in ride height, but they are much better than stock.

I just got some Works for my 300EX and I love em'! Of course I know there are alot of other kinds (Elka, PEP, Axis, etc) that are alot better, but overall they are pretty good in my opinion. They aren't real expensive either!

i have works triple rates w/rezzies on my 400 and i love 'em, they absorb the landing very well! and they are pretty cheap compared to other shocks, and for the kind of jumping i do and riding they work GREAT. i highly recommend them for people who don't have the money to spend on Axis, Elka, TCS, etc. or just want a nice cheap shock that works well.

I just put the steelers on my Z400 and it sits about a 3/4" lower. I think they work great. For the riding I do I couldn't justify shelling out $800-1000 for 2 shocks, but If i raced it would be a different story.

what do you mean by rough stuff? i've ridden on a track and they hold up very well, jumping, whoops, also i do a lot of trail riding combined with some jumps and they hold up very well for that also. i would recommend them for anyone who doesn't want to spend the extra $$$ for elkas or better.
