Check out GT Thunder. They will revalve, re-spring, and modify the shock bodies for $350. The springs will give you the sag you want, and the body modification allows the shocks to compress further, since they would normally bottom out well before the frame reaches the ground. That's especially useful if you're not running MX tires.

do u have to get the r shocks revalved and all that or will they work without it

[prepracing]

the 450R fronts need to be redvalved/sprung to get the ride height back for a 400ex. The stock rear 450r shock is no improvement over the stock rear 400ex shock. Getting your stock 400ex shock revalved/sprung or getting a different link is the best way to go on the rear

^Agreed, but you do not have to do it, but it will be worth the money.

[Unverfehrt400ex]

so how much will the ride highth change running them with stock a arms?

[400exMO]

They'll be alittle bit higher in stock form. If you get the shocks redone it'll lower it a tad.

is the ride a whole lot smoother

what about the yfz shocks,... are they better,...will they fit

You don't need to get them revalved, but it will probably give you a plusher ride. If all you want is more sag and a more progressive spring rate, you can just change the springs. Valving does nothing to ride height.
