I have a Raptor 660 and a Banshee 350 and the banshee rides a whole lot smoother than the raptor. They both have stock suspension and i want to make the raptor ride as smooth as the banshee.

I am sure this company can do it for the right price click here for Elka suspension

the problem is the Banshee is an older suspension type , but the actual seating position and the way the quad is sprung low (close to the ground) and wide , where the raptor is tall with actually better suspension (more travel) . over all on a straight bumpy section the banshee feels more planted , but the raptor really has more modern suspension.

for the right price you can get the raptor in the best of both worlds but it is not cheap. raptors are real tall and real twitchy it would need to be lower and wider as well as a few grand of suspension. IMO

Yes, Those Banshee do have a wider stance. The seat looks wider too from front to back. The Raptor does need some help with the right weight springs and triples on the front. It makes some difference but $$$$

do you have any suggestions of what type of springs and who from. and what are you referring to as triples?

Yes, piggyback triple rate springs in the front , I run with Works suspension. The rear have dual rate springs and valved from GT Thunder. Its a smooth ride on the rolling stuff. But still choppy in the dunes going over the buggy tracks, more like ruts.

black Widow is top of line. Very important to have them vavled to your specs, weight and terrain. They better work for the money. Some like elka too, both are $$
