I would like to know, how much better is the handling on a Banshee when you add quality after-market shocks< +2+1 A-arms and a wider rear axle. Also, I will talk about almost anything else but the new Raptor. All that can be said, has been said. We are just engaging in pointless bickering at this stage.

don't quote me here, but I might want your banshee front shocks if you get new ones. Depends on the price

What would you want them for? I know that TCS can rebuild and upgrade the stock shocks for Banshee, Blaster, and Warrior. I might go that route. I think you should go to kandkatv.com and check out their suspension specials page. Maybe I can help you more if you let me know what exactly you want to accomplish.

I was just on www.kandkatv.com and they have a very nice websight. I don't know what your budget is but if you want your suspension to work correctly, it must be balanced front to rear. More importantly, just bolting Banshee shocks on the front will likely make your quad handle worse, not better. Once you start on this endeavor, you will realize that it will cost serious money. Before you lay out any cash make a list of what you ultimately want to end up with, and how much it will cost you to get there. Then add 30% just to be safe. You may find it more economical to put your money towards a more performance oriented quad to begin with. After all a Blaster is an entry level machine. No offence but that is why you bought it(low price, sporty, low maintainance, etc). Now you are ready for more. If your budget won't support a new/newer machine, it might be best to wait until you can afford one. I have a buddy who dumped a lot of money into his blaster(suspension, chassis, motor) and he was very disappointed with the outcome as he could have bought a clean 250r, 400ex or Banshee for what he had into it.
