wimpywade94 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 hey, im buying some worls shocks for the front of the shee in july, but after i get my engine rebuilt and whatnot i wont be able to afford to get a rear shock, can i rebuild the one i have to my weight and riding style? doesnt ebiach(sp) make a spring kit for the rear of banshees that is stiffer? thanks wade Quote
McSkinner Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 I asked the same question. A new spring runs around a hundred bucks. I decided to spend that money on one of MrMatt's -2 swingarms. It made my back shock stiffer and it made the quad SO much more fun to ride. Look into it. Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 As luck would have it guys I just happen to work at Eibach Springs and extend discounts to HQ members for springs (any springs we make). If I can help send me a PM. Quote
Rescuejeff Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Dune Demon, you are the man, we all need to have brothers of teh shee like you. Quote
spoin39 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 You could send it to TCS (total control suspension) and have it revalved the right way for your weight and riding type. You will be much happier than just changing the spring. Quote

BenBB Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 I agree with spoin39, a spring alone may not be the best solution. You could have Works rebuild/revalve your rear shock for under $200 I think (they call it a "heart transplant" on their web page). But you may also need a different spring though, depending on the application. BTW the stock rear Ohlins is a pretty good shock I think, unless you are having problems with it and can't get it dialed in (like if you are very heavy or the shock is blown), you may not benefit from upgrading it...

wimpywade94 Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Posted May 1, 2004 well the biggest reason im getting it redone/replaces is im a 330# guy, pretty big for a bike with stock suspension! later wade Quote

If I can help send me a PM. Damn, I wish you made some coilovers for my Jeep and SuperDuty. I have over 14,000 different coiloover springs to choose from, we just don't make the threaded body shocks for them, if you get the shocks ( king, sway-away, fox, bilstein, etc..) I've got the springs.........Plus we have a full line of automotive performance lowering springs, anti-roll bars, struts & shocks and alignment kits. http://www.eibach.com Quote
knight_ripper Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 I just had my stock 97 rear rebuilt by TCS. Oil and seal for 100 bux. not bad considering I had it back in under a week. Todd is the owner, cool guy, and he did a great job. No more SwampAss for me. Quote
