I believe the TRX shocks are a little shorter than the Z shocks, so it's going to lower the front end a little... You may want to get a CRJ rear lowering link for the quad after you install these shocks.

there a half inch shorter i hope it does not effect it much at all.

i think overall it wasnt to bad of a deal.....the 450r's springs are softer also.....if ride height is an issue for you then id sell these and get some 05-08 Z400 shocks..its a stiffer spring winding and you can adjust the preload a bit better on them than the 450r's...my 2 cents

really i would think the 450r shocks would be stiffer and would have better adjustment cause its a more aggressive race quad

They will be a little more stiffer, but they're also fully adjustable so you can soften them up a good bit if you would like... I'd say it's a pretty good deal, seeing how you can't really get Z shocks for less than $175, and 450R shocks are definitely better!

well i have run the following shocks on my z's..the 450r shocks, the ltr450 shocks and the stock Z shocks.....the 450r's for me were the softest of all of them and the ltr being the stiffest....put these on your quad first and see if you like them, they may just work out for you, but for me they didnt..but were all different

I think shocks in general are way over priced, they seem like a pretty good deal tho. Barncat's DVX always sat lower than mine, it took us a while to figure out why. In fact just by chance one day I noticed that his a-arms were more flat than mine, doing some research show that they were about 1/2 -3/4 shorter than stock
