Default new shocks or symmetry a-arms

doesn't look like my lt is going to sell! i figured 3200 was pretty cheap, but not cheap enough...so i decided to keep it. but i was wondering if i should go with hsd symmetry long travel a-arms or just upgrade my works to tcs susp. i don't thinks the hsd's are 19" shock a-arms, but they increase the travel some. i definately need better suspension for what i am doing. anyone have any experience with these a-arms or know what would be the better route to go? i have burgards +3 arms right now and works triple rates.

I say go for both. That way you can sell me the burgard and the works to me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

not yet, i wish i had some reviews on the long travel a-arms. i emailed a guy about the shock length of the hsd arms that he had on a banshee, and they were only 16 and 1/4 or something, not 19in. isn't that the regular length of a honda 250r shock? it's a matter of spending about 700 to redo all the shocks to tcs zps or almost 2 grand to get new longer front shocks, new a-arms, and redo the rear?
i haven't been racing, but i do alot of big jumps. i ride most of the district tracks on practice and open practice days.

would just shocks make that much of a difference on how it jumps though?? i know works is more of a budget brand, but i wouldnt think that just shocks would make TOO much of a difference.

the works can't handle the jumps i'm throwing at them, they are bottoming out. better valved shocks could handle better and resist bottoming.

you must have some pretty serious jumps then...since it sounds you dont have a budget...i would go with the long travel arms and different shocks, then get the long travel swingarm and different shocks. That swingarm is soo awesome.
