Elka vs 450r shocks

[buster024]

I know this one has been played out a bit, but what is everyones opinion or experience with the performance difference (money aside) between a set of Elka triple rates with rezzies (non adjustable) and 450r shocks?

I would think Elka rec series single rate without rezzies would be a close comparison, but triples with rezzies I wouldn't think would even be a close.

Thoughts?

450r without being revalved the Elka are much better. 450r revalved are better than the Elka. Elka rec revalved may perform good as they would be using the same internals but the 450r would have the resevoir and adjustments. Any aftermarket shock will perform better but if you get the stock shocks rebuilt this means high flow pistons too they surpass most aftermarket. If I ever have enough money I would get Elka Elite and let another shock builder rebuild them just because I love the colors of the shocks they have haha. IMO shocks without resevoirs and adjustments are not worth it to buy.
