A-arm And Shock Question?

[raptor_02]

Ok I just purchased a set of +2 a-arms and a set of ELKA zero preload shocks. My rear shock is still stock but I was wondering if where I had zero preload on the front and stock on the rear if this will create any handleing issues? If so what is the best way I can tune my rear shock to make it adapt to the new front end. There is no way I can get a new ELKA rear shock before my next race so any advice with the stock rear shock would be greatly aprecaited.

Well, I'd say that as long as your front end still has around 7 to 8 inches of clearance on the front, set your rear at about 7 inches, with you sitting on it. Then I'd say just go do some riding and adjust your compression and rebound adjustments. If it feels too stiff, soften the settings, and vice versa.
