Is the firecat really an upgrade?

I just sold my F5 firecat & bought a Phazer.
The suspension on that was factory ACT shocks but I had them all re-valved for my weight + added stiffer springs and it was dialed in great, rode sweet on rough stuff- hoping to get this Yammi like that by doing those 2 things.
Your GT doesn't have re-buildable shocks does it? If not, maybe get some Fox or whatever and go from there before doing a whole skid change. Re-valving for your weight/ style of riding will help the suspension work alot better too.
 
i had the 03 f7 with 140hp not really it would really zing that track, thats the reason i thought of it,its a little longer and narrow and thats how i ride,

i am looking at doing a fix as cheap as possible but will still work, its already got 4000 miles on her so i dont want to spend a fortune.

seeing as i have to figure in balljoints every couple hundred miles every penny saved is a mile earned.
