What are all the companies who make shocks for the 400ex?

I know of
elkas (there canadian right?)
Ohlin;s

and thats all that i know of...

I'm looking to get some aftermarket shocks for my 400ex
Dont really know whats good and what not, or what the prices are like

I'm pretty sure elkas are the most expensive yes? (and best??)

give me some ideas, there gonna be on the stock a-arms for a bit untilli can get some different ones

:confused:

its all preference whats the best shock ...
it all depends what kind of riding you do ...
I ride PEP and I love them ... GREAT shock IMO ...

If I were you Id' wait until I got the +a-arms because if u get shocks set up for stock arms now ... then get +1 or 2 or 3 a-arms ... you'll have to get them revalved for the difference because they will be too soft ...

Im not saying that elka's are bad ethier ... there also good shocks ... so are TCS ... Works are the bang for the buck ive heard ....

but I myself am just really learning about the way shocks work ... lol
to to talk to Rico or Pappy ... They will explain things much better and give u more advice that I probally missed ... there good guys ...

You might be better off getting the Elka's since they are in Canda and would not have to pay the extra shipping, but then again I don't know how much more the shipping is. I run Elka's and love them!
