Default 250R Shock question

I have had my basically stock TRX for over 10 years now and have noticed a serious decline in the suspensions performance. I know I could go out and by a new set of shocks and springs for like $1k but I was wondering if my stock shocks were rebuildable? If so anyone know of a good shop that will rebuild them for a decent price? Thanks in advance!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The front ones a disposable, but I believe the rear can be re done. There is alot of choices, when it comes to shocks. It is like comparing a ford to a chevy, alot more opinion that facts. I have sent 450r shocks to Works, to get revalved it was cheaper than any other place I found, and they are holding up fine.

Send the rear shock to TCS, they can rebuild your rear shock and improve the performance with different springs. As for the fronts... don't even waste your money buying used stockers. Try to get a deal on Ebay for some aftermarket ones-good deals are there to be found.
