front shocks

[tigerdog]

im thinking about getting some new front shocks,
ive been looking at the ohlins with rezzies and full adjustments
do you folks know if they hold up well?
any and all advice would be appreciated.
may also be interested in a set of used shocks if anyone has some decent ones.
they must fit the stock front end.

If youre buying brand new, I wouldnt get ohlins... They are way overpriced and dont perform as well as the other big 3 (PEP, elka, axis) for the same price or maybe less...

Exactly, the peps, axis, or elkas would be a better deal. Either way you are getting excellent shocks.

i got a quote from cd racing and for elkas or ohlins with the same setup they were very competatively priced.
after talking to them for a while i settled on the elkas because they had what i wanted and also had the shortest delivery time.


thanx for the advice guys i appreciate it: :)

TCS makes a decent shock. The guys I race with swear by them, and they all give me sht fro my works.....Gotta start somewhere shock upgrades next year
