is it worth the money. i ride woods mostly. is money better spent on shocks to help lower the center of gravity. my main goal is to corner better and get the front end up

would i get better handaling performance from the shocks? if i replace the fronts how would the rear match up? how would it affect weight transfer?

Get some TCS triple rate shocks up front and send your stock rear to TCS to revalve it.

shocks will make the biggest handling difference out of any mod.
theres two cheap ways to go, 1. is tcs front shocks and they'll rework your back, this will be zero preload all the way around.
2. works zero preload shocks front and rear, or front non zero preload so it will still match the rear ride hight.

thats not the only way to go but probroble the cheapest!
you shouldent be disappointed

Zero Preload shocks suck on a DS for everything except MX! Get the Triple rate shocks you will be much happier.

Why would zero preload shocks suck on a DS650? It would lower the ride height and soak up the bumps and jumps awesome....... Am I missing something? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I think he said that because they ride really stiff if you don't ride hard!
