The crossover controls how soon the next rate of spring is engaged. With the tall part of the crossover up, it makes it a little softer. With it reversed, it engages the decond rate spring faster and gives you a stiffer or more responsive ride.

are they the live rate or zps? cause if they're zps, the elka book says you're not supposed to change the way the crossovers are.

By looking at the springs, it looks like those are live rate. The top spring looks too thick to be a ZPS spring.
I dont remember seeing any where in the book about not changing the crossovers:ermm:

Youre gonna love those shocks compared to stock;)

yeah i really aitn sure...idk it might sound stupid but what the different between live rate and ZPS? i not sure what i got

[sampleez]

with the live rates, the top spring won't fully compress when your sitting on the bike like a zps. i'm pretty sure about this, but not 100%, so someone correct me if i'm wrong.

i don't have my book near me, but i remember it saying not to change the position of the crossovers on zps shocks

[fasterthanyouex]

Do they come set up to your weight and all that goos stuff or do you have to go through Elka to do that?

[sampleez]

i got mine for $440 shipped from granddragon on yfzcentral.com, but with no shock covers.

they'll be setup for your weight, aarms, and riding style
