I've read that the banshee and raptor share the same spring rate. I believe that the banshee rear shock is more popular to rebuild and re spring for whatever you want to do with it. But on the other hand the raptor shock is easier to install (you have to mold your airbox to fit the banshee piggyback)

You being on the lighter side a 660 shock might be to much. They are a little bit longer so the rear will sit higher. Modding the airbox for the banshee is really simple, I just put one on and Im 250 and so far Im loving it. Either way you cant go wrong, but I did notice you can pick a banshee rear up cheaper than an 01 660 rear for.

I talked to a suspension guy and he says the 660 Raptor shock is better than the Banshee. :???:

In the end I think it really comes down to the rider and how you ride. Like I siad Im loving the banshee rear, but theres some guys that really love the 660 rear.

He is probably right, banshee shock is an older design then the 660 shock. But the 660 is longer, both can be rebuilt to suit your needs and both are better then the stock shock
