Default Raptor Suspension upgrade

I have an 04 raptor and i do a lot of trail riding and ive come to realize my stock suspension could use an upgrade for an easier ride. I was looking at some pairs of stock yfz shocks for around 200$ on ebay. I was wondering if these would be a noticable enough upgrade or should i just save up some more money and pick up a pair of Elka or Works shocks.

I don't believe 450 shocks will fit on a 660

elka shocks are amazing, definately recommend...I love mine, allow me to ride harder and faster with less fatigue.

if you can get the yfz's for 200 it will be the best thing you can do for the money!!! It will widen the front which makes it a little more stable and the valving is way better than stock raptors, it will make a huge differance!!!!!

stock 450 shocks will fit, but they are stiffer than your current raptor shocks. you will need a +2 front end to work well with the 450 shocks, otherwise you will have to have them revalved for your weight and your bike.
