I agree GT Thunder is awesome, but his kit won't be triple rate front.

Maybe I just have a bug up my a** but I would like triple rates. But if they are as good as you guys say so they are definately worth looking into. I checked his web site and need more info on them. If anyone has more info or experience with them post it.

Thanks

I have a GT Thunder rear shock and XC linkage. It was night and day difference from stock. I also have C&D racing conversion on the front shocks which are triple rate. They work very well also.

For all 3 it was 725$ including the new rear link. Plus shipping. It took a bit to get them dialed in after I got them back on, but now they ride as well as my elka's on my 416ex.

im sending my elkas out to GT Thunder, at the ironman he showed me how his setup works, and its way better then the elka setup, but jus picture having your stock shocks equal to elkas then gettin elkas revalved and having a 2 times better shock then those :eek2:

DeRisi, C&D, and GT Thunder seem to all be doing good setups. I do think having the different rear link would make more of a difference though.

As far as sending Elka's out to get better, when tuned by Precision Concepts or GT Thunder, etc, they are a lot better then before...
