im wanting to get some aftermarket/revalved stock shocks and im wanting to know what the best but least expensive shocks are and if it would be cheaper to have the stock ones revalved and such what would i need to be done, how much would it cost, and where can i get it done. i will be running mx on +2+1 a-arms

Well if youre on a lower budget, I'd go with TCS. Front stocks cant be revalved and stuff like that. Its safer to go with an aftermarket shock. Go with PEP or AXIS(my fav.) if you have the money. Tcs if youre on a lower budget.

get elkas. i use them for mx and love them. i think they are the best shock for their price but if you have more money go with pep if you dont mind waiting for ever or axis if your rich.

elka triples with rezzies from elka is 800. to get a rear shock rebuilt by elka its 375 i think is what some one told me. on the rear you should get it rebuilt by what ever front shocks you have so that it matches it.

Quader, where do you get the money, $800 is still pretty damn expensive.

TCS are about 850 for the SCS(SAG CONTROL SYSTEM). They are better than elka in my mind. I wouldnt get a rear shock rebuilt (especially by elka, heard they weren't very good), youre better off saving the money for a new rear shock.:)
