I would just look for some decent aftermarket shocks. PEP's are mean, FOX Floats are pretty sweet, and Elkas aren't bad. Axis is pretty good too. But make sure you check out EXIT shocks and ARS A-Arms on the ZBROZ Racing site.

the yfzr rear shock wont bolt up to the reg yfz, i tried doing before bc i did exactly what your doing now. i decided to not get the yfzr shocks bc whats the point if your going to spend more money for aftermarket ones? i waited and scanned craigslist, ebay, and here for some cheaply priced shocks. i got some ekla stage 4's for about 400 and thats a steal! you can always just get the whole front end on here for cheap too. arms, tierods, shocks ect
