I am going to buy a set of shocks for my Banshee, should I get TCS or Works shocks? I am also eventually going to get aftermarket A-arms, which kind does everyone recomend? If I change to say a +2/+1 A-arm, what else do I have to change to keep the front and rear geometry the same? I am going to build my own track and I want to corner better and make my jumping more comfortable on the landings.

I run the +2+1 a-arms with a lonestar axle.This makes the front and rear very close to the same width.The axle is really just +1 on each side but my wheels are off-set enough to give it the width.I havnt been able to roll it yet.I also run TCS in the front.The shocks are unbelievable.They were works at first and they stunk.After TCS got them they totally changed them.TCS also has much bigger cans than works which allows for less fade.I also put a set of Blaster pegs on it.This puts a little more weight at the rear so your using your body instead of your arms to keep the front end up.This is cheaper than a shorter swing arm that would do about the same thing.This combination of parts pegs lower and back,wider front end,longer wheel-base,wider rear gives you a weight bias as good as a 250r if not better.The TCS shocks are also nice for getting low to the ground with no preload system which also allows you to keep all your travle no matter how low you set your front end off the ground.Works shocks cant do this.Hope this helps.You'll have to use a blaster shift lever and shorten a banshee brake petal.

Is there a specific best place to buy the shocks from? Like CT racing, Graydon proline, or K and K?
How long will it take
