i plan on racing this summer and i want to get a set of works shocks for the front 400ex. but i don't want to get rezzies and i don't really want to spend over 400.00 what works would work for me?

buy a set of used works with rezzies on ebay..............you can pick them up really cheap and get a nice re-valve and be ahead and save some $$$$$ which is what we all want to do!:devil:

works pro series are the best they make...im pretty sure they are over 400 tho. If your going to race alot....i reccomend saving more money and buying something better than works...

I have a set of work triple rates for the front, I thought they were much better than stock.

But, after buying a set of PEP ZPS I can't believe how bad the Works were. So bad, that to be quite honest, I would rather have just kept the stock shocks on than pay the $360 for the works.

Save your money and buy the elkas.

With shocks it very hard to explain how they feel but what I noticed is that the works shock had a rough and noisy ride. The valving actually felt better on the stock shocks. But the stock shocks felt like they didn't use all of the travels most of the time and bottomed out over big jumps.

The PEPs give you everything, plush ride, lots of travel, and quite. Example when riding hi speed down a trail full of rocks and logs I would have to stand up and brace myself for a hard hit with the works. With the PEPs I see the tire go up but I don't get the sharp hit.

At the end of the day I feel much more fresh.
