Default Shock Question

I am going to buy a Works Rear Shock on ebay off of PrecisionPowersports...a Quadstar Rear with rezzy.

Anyone order off of these guys before? They seem really nice and fast from feedbackl, but I am not really sure.

I am payings 484.00 for these which I don't think is bad...cheaper than buying off of Works.

So I have a few questions.

How long will shipping be?
Is it worth the $484.00?
Is the Quadstar Rear w/ Rezzy good?
and, I want to jump but I will still be riding trails, how should I have it setup? Should I go with MX for jumping and trail riding or would the trail riding setting be good for jumping too?

Honestly I would not spend that much for suspension on a warrior..... What happened to getting the Raptor rear shock? I think that would be MUCH more practical of an idea. It is your money, and your obviously welcome to do what you want with it, but it seems like over kill to put that much money into suspension for a warrior..... If you do get it though, I'd have it set-up for woods riding. It should still easily handle all the more jumping that you'll be doing.

I want a nice, good rear shock. My Warrior's stock one is blown out. I was going to think about putting a different suspension on it anyway. But since it is blown out, I might as well upgrade it. I want one soon also. I would go with a Raptor shock, but no one has one for sale or on ebay. I have been riding around with a blown shock for about a month now....and am really sick of it...so this is the way I am going to go.

Well, hope ya like it bro'. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Definately not the most practical, but if you've got money to blow go for it.

I bought my Works shocks from them and I was very satisfied with their customer service. You should consider the adjustable rear shock though. It's not that much more. I wish I would have gone adjustabe but I'm not going to change now.

I don't remember exactly, but it costs more to have it rebuilt to be adjustable than if you buy an adjustable one to start with.
