another point that is almost always overlooked is the rest of the components that affect your suspension movement which are the swingarm bearings and knuckle bearings, if these are seized or worn then you will not get the true benefit of a decent shock. best to inspect and service/replace the bearings while fitting the shock. its a bit like putting braided lines on to counteract seized calliper pistons, aint going to work.
