I have a old SSR 125 and looking to upgrade the suspension but not spend a ton of cash.. What are the best mid level suspension upgrades front and rear? Right now im riding on what feels like pogo sticks... On a 10/12 setup

What I would recommend to do the rear cheap is get the fast ace resi shock , it's a good shock got the price and it will get rid of the springiness as for the front the cheapest and effective way is to put heavier oil in the forks or you can get the $150 inverts off eBay. That's what running and I love them

Eye to eye on rear is 11". Would anything change if i wanted to get a 17-18" swingarm? I need to get rid of the weldhack death trap the previous wheelie king built!

Bs 66 rc fast ace rear shock or equivalent dnm etc. had the fast ace on the same setup really liked it and quick fix for those fronts... Drain crap oil out replace with name brand heavier oil increase level of it and if you want to go farther cut a couple if PVC shims 1/4 give or take how stiff you want it and put them on top of springs after replacing oil. I Have 3 of them with this setup

all vary by rider weight and style but will help tremendously

Is the piranha 12" front end kit a good option? i will try the heavier oil and shims first but could possible look at that front end kit.

I've ridden both and I personally like the fast ace set up better
