Default aftermarket shocks for Coolster 125's???

Hi all, about 6 months ago I purchased 3 Coolster 125s for my kids. For the price I am very happy but the shocks are miserable. I have found some on ebay but don't know anything about them. They are the 12.5" air shocks i believe Pair Air brand. Anybody use these? My children range from about 50lbs to 80lbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a link for the shocks? Hard to tell if they are worth trying without knowing anything about them.. also the shocks are the worst thing about these small coolsters. I am looking for replacements as well.

I'm sorry. I can't get my phone figured out. I did a search on Ebay and typed 12.5" atv shocks. The ones I'm looking at are gold/blk. I well keep trying to get the link.

These are the lowest weight ones I could find, they are only 11.5" but they say 320lbs where all the 12.5s I found all said 450lbs. I will be trying them out for my coolster 125 xr8. But its going to be a while.

I'm hoping they actually have damping and rebound like a normal shock. I'd like to change the springs for lighter rider if the shocks actually work instead of the pogo stick setup they have now. I just haven't found anybody that actually used them.
When i read the reviews it's obvious a foreigner is talking about the highest quality of the shocks lol not if they function properly. I'm not expecting fox or elka quality, just proper function.

I purchased 4 of the "pair air" shocks on ebay. They are perfect for my son's coolster 125. If memory serves the rear was perfect length and the fronts were 1/2" shorter. The spring rate is lighter and they actually work like a shock is supposed to. My son only weighs about 50 lbs and now his quad doesn't ride like a rigid frame. They are cheap but so far I'm very happy and they look like daddy's shocks so he is tickled.

Oh and they bolted up with no modification.

Thanks for updating this jascwa.. Most shocks that come on Chinese quads only look like a shock. My 04 Yamoto 150's stock rear shock had 9/16" of travel..

Are these what you got?
