i want to upgrade my stock 03 z400 shocks, but dont want to spend a lot, does anyone know if stock ltr450 front or rear shocks will fit?

The LTR450s will fit the front but you have to widen the top shock tower a little or trim down the top shock bushing.....the stock rear Z shock should be fine...but you can get a new spring from it from a lot of shock shops..like hygear or gt thunder...the trx450 shock will fit better than the LTR shock....but if I were you, just go with a newer set of front Z shocks or save up for a basic set of Elkas .....much better performance and ride

Good Choice

...and you can always buy a spring kit for the newer Z shocks later on and improve the ride even more.....

Hey I've got some LTR front shocks that I just took off of my DVX if you want em. $150 plus shipping. They'll fit you just gotta work on the top mount a bit.
