Yea, the shocks not the best. Hence the bikes been cheap you cant realy compare to a 3-4 grand mx bike(new).

But something like the top fastace or DNM or even Elka (if you want to spend alot) they should hold up.

get an angle grinder or a grinding stone on the mount faces of the shock and take a couple mm off each side,10 second job
