Alright guys and gals I have a 2010 yfz450x and I am going to redo everything this winter. I need some help with what suspension people like. I know fox's customer service sucks, but im stuck on a fox and houser set up. Any help would be appreciated.

Zbroz is the way to go for xc.

Their is a reason why your stuck on the Fox/Houser kit. Simply put they work really well together. The Cecco bracket is flawless, and the Evols can withstand a lot abuse being a air shock. It's a fact when you go through us for Suspension parts you'll save! IF your thinking about going to a conventional shock don't over look Motowoz. You will not find one negative thing about Motowoz customer service nor one unhappy customer. I've been running Motowoz for several years now, and have no plans of swapping brands to date.

Never heard of any of those people except traci cecco. Doesn't seem like any of the top guys run HLS do they? I'm sure they work pretty good though I bet GTthunder has some of the most experience in the XC scene with the yamahas. If you are set on one company I'd go with what you prefer, going by what people say the pros run is just stupid, they only use what they are paid to use not whats the best out there.

Zbroz seems to be getting pretty popular and they always have some sort of deals going on. Try signing up for their rider support and see what deals you could get hooked up with.

The bracket is named after her, but she did in fact leave Houser to run a different brand.

if you follow or race XC GNCC then you should know these names...on the subject about these other shock companies/builders, most of them attend Laz's suspension seminars/classes with Laz doing the teaching....fact...lol
