Buying some shocks and i have a few questions...

[DVXracer]

Alright some of these questions might be stupid but i just need to clearify some things, im looking at buying some ELKA piggyback fronts and i can get a pair of tripple rates with ONLY preload adjustable for $750... is it worth it? Or i can get tripple rates with preload AND compression ajustments for $875... If i were to buy the ones for $750, would it even be worth it? If so, what would i be missing out on? Please help...

get a shock that at least has comp adj. and preferably a shock that has comp and reb. adj.

thanks my 2 cents

Yup, I would definately spend the extra money and get the compression adjustable. In the front shocks, I personally don't think that rebound adjustment is very important.......in the rear shock, rebound is a must. My 2 pennies. ;)

Thanks guys, any more opinions?

your stock shocks would be better then the elkas with only preload. get the compresion adj ones

I havn't heard about a lot of good things about elka.If I was you I would get TCS from colby at C&D for 875. JMO

Another question, as i am not made of money, should i get st shocks for stock a arms or get lt shocks and wait a little bit then get lt a arms?

If I were you id just hold off and wait tilll you have enough for lt becuase your kinda screwed if a ball joint wears out unless you get used off ebay then it would be nice.

Alright thanks everyone.

Get some floats for LT a-arms and you can still use them with your stockers

Wouldnt that make it sit higher though?

[DEVINF450R]

Not 100% for sure but one of the chambers controls the ride height. it wouldn't be as good at a set (of floats) designed for the stock ones but they would be designed for the long travel arms you would purchase later on. this way you can have awesome shocks that are LT and use them while you wait to buy your new LT arms:)

I think im either going with Elka or PEP as of now, but im getting some price quotes from colby and we'll see what he can do for me...
