Don't works have a problem with breaking the shafts or something like that?

Oh yea, and how much would I expect to pay for works w/o rezzies triple rate, and set up for my weight?

Yea I can get the works for $376 and the elka's for $465 and both of those prices include them being set up for my wieght. If I buy used elkas without rezzies, and send them in to get vavled for my weight would it be cheaper than buying them for $465?

Brand New Elka's set up for my weight - $465. I just wanted to know if that would be cheaper to do it that way or if I could get some used ones revalved and set up for my wieght and have it be cheaper.

Im looking into new shocks wittout the rez. also. I dont race but I do jump high and bottom out a lot. most of my riding is in sand and a little trail. Will the Works work fine for me or will the extra $100 for the elkas be worth it?

ELKA'S OVER WORKS!
BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO GET WORKS THEN BE SURE TO GET THE 5/8 SHAFTS ON THEM, MUCH STRONGER THAN THE STEELERS

Yea that's what I decided to do. I thought, well the elkas are only $80 more so what the heck because of the huge difference. And I think once I get them I'm gonna save up to get rezzies put on them. So right now I'm in the process of saving up for them.
