banshee_boy2007 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 i got a 2001 shee with quite a few mods and my stock suspension sucks @$$ and i really neeed some deasent shocks and i was looking at the Works Performance A-T Steeler Front Shocks. there not too expensive for me. do u know if the +2 shocks would work with stock a-rms but with the front rims flipped. THANKS Quote
zR2 Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 i too was looking into the A-T steelers and would appreciate some info on them. what would happen if i got the shocks setup for +2+1 arms and put them on with my stock arms untill i got ext. arms? and are they worth the $$$ or should i just save a little more and get elkas?

Lepew Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 Check with Works about if they work. I ordered a set of works triple rates for my +2 a-arms and when I tried putting them on stock a-arms they were to long and bottomed out the ball joints. Works told me if you order them for stock a-arms they will be stock length with 4 1/2" of travel to allow 9" of wheel travel. But if you order them for +2 arms they will build them a 1/4" longer than stock shocks and only have 4" of travel to give 9" of wheel travel. The difference is for the added leverage of the +2 arms. You can probably get away with +2 shocks on stock arms but they might slightly bottom out the ball joints, but they will still be a improvment over stock shocks. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 yea, they have diffrent size shocks for both stock and extended arms, so' id' wait till you extend to get ur shocks ,it'll save you some money, and yea there pretty good shocks, a hell of a jump up from stock! Quote
ledofthezep Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 My roomate just ordered some shocks setup for his weight/style from Works. They told him they are only making the steelers in a dual rate only...for only Flat-track/TT racing. They sold him tripples with rezzies for about $30 cheaper than he could get the dual rate steelers...that wouldn't work for shit for MX & duning. Quote
