I just ordered a new pair of TCS Sag control shocks for my 400EX. I was wondering if I could get some input from riders that already have these shocks? I had them set up for GNCC riding and some local hare scrambles. Any info on would be well appreciated!

I have TCS sag control shocks. I race mx in Las Vegas and really like them. My 400ex really corners 10 times better now that I have them vs.when I had works on it. I did send in my rear shock for the TCS sag mod. They really soak it up. (The track I race on is set up for dirt bikes). My lap times are faster now because my corner speeds are faster......

I have the TCS sgs shocks on the front of my Blaster set up for MX. They are totally awesome. I haven't had the back done yet and boy does it need it. I used to only notice how bad the front shocks were but now I know that the back is also terrible. The TCS helped a lot in the corners and whoops, and are awesome on the huge triples that I do.

All I have to say is AWESOME! These shocks handle like a dream. I cant see why anyone would want to wait 13months (yes i said 13 months) for PEP to build your shocks. TCS will build and ship in a week or less. I got a set for Xmas and I am having my stock rear redone to there specs. I HIGHLY recommend there shocks to anyone! I dont know how I rode before w/o them!
good luck and enjoy the new shocks

I bought the TCS shocks for my Banshee not to long ago, and they made a huge difference over the stock shocks.

I think I'm gonna send in my rear shock to be done as well.

One question. Will the 87 shock fit onto the 99 model? because I'm thinking of sending the 87 shock to be redone by TCS and put the 99 shock onto the 87.

Well, I can't add much to these replies except that I've been running the shocks about six mos. for desert & cc, I run at 10 clicks on the comp for my weight..155#. If you haven't done so already, you might want to add a damper to your bike to reduce the shock transmitted thru the bars to your arms/body. I use a PEP on my Warrior. It's a simple design with three adjustments..light med., & hard, covering most situations.
