both are great shocks. tcs however are a little better. but really if you havea good jump and especially a good landing you dont need the best aftermarket shocks for fmx. i see alot of people doing fmx (derek guetter did) on stock shocks.

One of the guys I race thinks that Todd's(TCS Guy) suspension is set up a bit stiffer than most. He would probably be better for large impacts but Elka would be extremely close if not equal.

I have Elka front shocks. I like them alot. I race mx and they soak up the bumps real good but your probably not worried about that. Ive never ridden a quad with TCS shocks but its up to you. I like my Elkas. They could be a little stiffer though.

I have ridden almost all shocks. The only ones I have liked better than TCS are my Custom Axis,but they are the 19" and $1300 compared to the TCS $850.I'd go with TCS.
