Be a little patient :think: you posted at a time when most people are headed home from work or sitting down to dinner and you expect an answer in 30 minutes?
That said yes we have used MXTech specifically the Illinois facility which is the home of MXTech guru Jeremy Wilke. He produced a great suspension on each bike to compensate for the fact my son was only 100lbs on both a CR125 and a YZ250F. Both set ups worked terrifically in all parts of a MX track.
As far as price I do not recall specifically but know it was far less then using any of the "BIG name" companies.
Be sure whoever you choose that you are honest about your riding level (not what you wish) and what you expect the suspension to do
Try the link on this page for more info and mention you are a DRN member when you talk to him.

I had my 03RM250 done by MX-Tech. Definately worth it. Almost every one will tell you the best performance mod you can do for your bike is the suspension.
Before, I had problems with harshness in the small stuff and bottoming out in the big stuff. I could turn my adjusters 4 clicks and barely feel the difference. After, my suspension is plush, reactive, with great bottoming resistance. Now I can tell the difference between one and two clicks.
If you just get send in your forks and shock you will pay in the neighborhood of $800-$850. Sure the quoted service may be less, but you have to count on a few internals; seal, shims, o-rings and clips, being changed due to wear.
Did they do good fast work? Yes.
Am I happy with my suspension now? Yes.
Would I use them again? Yes.
What will the first mod I do when I buy a 4-stroke? Suspension
Hope this helps, Steve.

my forks and shock are there now he hasnt really got into them yet. just trying to get an estamite
Reasonable rates, unparalleled service, and I would recommend no one else. Compared to other suspension people he should charge double, but he does not.

any other opinions?
I just dropped a box off at FedEx that is going to Jeremy Wikey at MX-Tech in Illinois. This will be bike #6 or 7 that he has done for me. Jeremy is the only one I trust to do my suspension and it's been that way for the last 13 years.
