I have a brutally abused 2002 vanilla rc that has crapped out long ago and up to now I haven't had the money to replace it (both the adjustment knobs snapped off, all the oil has been long gone, the nitrogen tank is empty, and the spacers/reducers are about as oval as a football field).
My question is what shock should I shoot for? I've been consiedering buying a new swinger 6-way from santa cruz for $100 or maybe even a 5th element (however they only come in 8.75-2.75). I would rather get a 9.5-3.0 DHX 5.0 or a roco but I'm not sure the extra cost, even buying used, justifies the difference between them and the 6-way. I only have $240 and I'll need new spacers to come with the shock. I plan to put it on my 2002 Big Hit comp with the big link setup. I'm open to any other shock ideas as well as long as they fall in my price range. Thanks for your time.
