If you have aftermarket a arms, the front lowering kits will not work. Just FYI.

Has anyone else used these? Can you really jump on them my banshee is used for quite a few different things mostly on road so lowering on my standard shocks may benefit my bikes stance but sometimes I might go offtrack and may get a little bit of air, havent got huge money to spend on expensive shocks and arms so just wondered if they're worth it?

[Coupelx]

the proper length shocks is they way to go. i would not jump with those lowering blocks.

[Glenyboy]

I have seen them cheaper aswell just they claimed theirs were superior and claimed you could jump on them, I took their statement with a pinch of salt as they don't look any different

you could use long travel a arms and yfz 450 shocks? just got mine put on didnt realize the arms where long travel when i bought them used. its pretty low to the ground now. can i still jump it and shit now? im gonna try to save up for some long travel shocks

[Glenyboy]

Don't the yfz shocks bolt up differently? What arms did you use?

I used eyeball engineering long travel arms. They bolted up with no problems at all. Its super low now because i need the long travel shocks. It will work for now anyways

Don't do it. I tried to lower my bike this way, took about 3 day trips to totally toast my lower A-Arms. These create a lot contact points. With just the smallest amount of play at each point with your A-Arms bouncing all over the place on rough terrain, it doesn't take long to worble everything out and make it all very loose and clattery. My lower shock mounts were never quite right after I pulled the kit off.

 

Short shocks is the way to go.

unless your riding on the street, why would anyone wanna lower it

Ice racing, drag racing, flat track, TT, or the street...

[Glenyboy]

To tell the truth most of my riding will probably be on the street, I may venture off onto a bit of 'green lanes' which are mostly flat loose gravel tracks that may have a pothole here and there, and budget is a big problem for me at the moment I'm just trying to look at different options.
