I have LT elkas all around and when i first wanted shocks, i thought they were more of a woods shock. In no way are they. These shocks are sweet. you will be very happy

i have a full set of LT elka's and a full set of LT Axis shocks. Both have their +'s and their -'s. As of right now though i like my Axis better.

Elkas ARE top of the line.... dont know what youre buddy is smokin.... Not to take away from PEP or Axis, they are top of the line too, but you should be happy with your elkas no doubt...

My car is faster than your car, my dad can kick your dads ---, etc.

Elka, Axis, PEP, TCS, Ohlin, Motowoz, blah, blah, blah... I don't think any of these are "top of the line" but I do think they are all great shocks and the best shocks are those that you can afford and use. BTW: I like looking at my Axis Long Travels, triple rate dual adjust front and double rate dual adjust rear... I could have went with Elka but the Axis were Cheaper! Originally I wanted some Ohlins but they seem to be a bit harder to find so Axis it was and so far they have terrific customer service.
