What's better?

Also, were could I get all three rebuilds and a new link cheapest?

What link and spring rates should I get if I ride alot of trails but love to jump and hit up the mx track?

Thanks.

Does GT thunder do the travel mod to the front shocks like DeRisi?

I dont know about the travel mod, But I have a rebuilt rear. I went with the cheapest one, and gt thunder was a little bit cheaper. They are all very good. I have also heard many good things about C&D which is the site sponsor.

I dont think you will go wrong with either one, though I haven't used the derisi setup myself. I am very happy with my GT Thunder rear setup, as far as spring rates and linkages... let them figure that out, thats what you're paying them for.

Yes i have GT rebuild w/the travel mod and it makes a world of difference.

Both companies to the travel mod for the front shocks.

I've never ridden a Derisi rebuild but I have a GTT rear rebuild on my R to go with my LT front end and I am deff impressed with this rear shock.
It really cuts down on the bucking and just gives a much more enjoyable and safer ride over all.
And the bike also sits much lower.

If I never got this shock rebuild I probably would of died by now :P

I also used to get lower back pain after long rides which I think was from the bike hitting me in *** over woops, the rebuild fixed that too =)

when i ordered my front PEPs from SF racing, they said that the GTT rear link sits the bike lower but the stock rear shock doesnt have enough travel to sit like that, and if a shock is valved/sprung for your weight that will take care of the bucking.
