banshee, blaster, or warrior shocks

Which shocks work the best. I have a 2002 warrior, and at the moment it has on it a banshee shock, and a warrior shock. I stupidly bought it that way and am now trying to figure out which would be the better shock to buy. The side that the banshee shock is on wore out my balljoint more so than the side that the warrior shock is on. Which shock would be the best to replace it with. I've also heard that you can use blaster shocks. I'm very small, and I ride on very rocky trails most of the time.

banshee shocks are softer than warrior so I would go with shee shocks be smoother ride

Their actually not that much $. You can get them for the front's, and rear..
One thing you have to be aware of, is the banshee shock is about a 1/2" inch longer than the warrior shock. That might have caused the added wear on your ball joint?
But properly set up, they are a little better shock that the warrior units.

but Mathius it says that part is discontinued

I noticed that 2.. lol
You can still get them.. You just gotta look around.
Theres a listing on ebay for the rear spring(s).

 

[YAMAHAULER]

so those springs only work on shee fronts?

 

[Mathius]

No I think they would work on the warrior as well.
But their not as cheap as I thought they were..
The rear kit might be worth it, but you can get a decent set of used worx for the front with that kinda money.

Does it matter what year banshee shocks fit or are they all pretty much universal?

 

[YAMAHAULER]
