I'd go with the Axis. They've been around the longest and most of the fast guys are running them. Jones, Ballance, Byrd, Little, Frees, Smiley, Borich, Derisi, Ellerbrock, the list goes on. Gust and Yokely used to run Axis but I hear Elka offered them money to run their stuff so that's why they switched.

well most the pros either run axis or pep which are both AWSOME shocks but i jsut picked PEP cuz there cheaper and i think there the same quality

IMO
Elka= Cheap $$, good quality, there is no waiting list or superlong wait time, helps my economy, very good customer service

I am not going to say what set-up is better. They are all better then stock, it all depends on your $$, wait time, and preference.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Elka has done a lot of testing the last few years and their old valving problems are gone. It's up to you what you want in the end.
