I have a 400ex and i ride both sand and mountain trail riding. I am looking for suspension that will work for both of these environments. I was thinking the elka but i am not sure what kind of elka? I am also looking for new a-arms and axle. Should i get plus 1 or 2 on the arms. Should the axle be the same distance as the new arms? What should i get first a-arms and axle or shocks? All i am looking for is good arms, axle, and suspension for mountains and sand! Price range for all of this is 0-2000 dollars. Thanks

get elka rec. shocks. they are cheaper and will be good for what u are riding. u can always add rezzies to them and have them redone. i would get the shocks first

If your getting new arms and new shocks you need to do them at the same time because the shocks will be made to work with those a-arms. They make them logner for +1 or +2 a-arms than stock and it wouldn't be good to ride stock arms with shocks made for +1 or +2. I just ordered new Elka rec series and I'm doing MX. I'll get the rezzies later. I needed to spend the extra money on other things I need (a-arms and some other goodies). I ordered them late in the day last Tuesday and they were shipped Friday! Real fast!
