superbanshee Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have stage 1 Elka's in the front of my shee. I was wondering if anyone knows how much nitrogen do they recommend to refill them, I want to make sure there topped off for glamis season. Also, to refill the rear shock do i need the needle kit that motion pro sells? The rear is the stock shock with an Eibach spring. Thanks for the help.

Unless you have zero-loss tools, you're never going to be accurate. Generally set them both at 200, but I don't see why you'd need to mess with them unless they leak. In which case, the leak needs to be addressed. Also, Nitrogen won't affect your ride quality whatsoever. That is a common misconception. People think that nitrogen pressure will stiffen their shocks. Not that case one bit. All the nitrogen is there for, is to provide counter-pressure to prohibit foaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That make sense, I emailed you through your website asking how much to re-do my rear shock, it has an eibach spring, it seems like it sags also. but when I get to the bottom of a dune I bottom out sometimes. Any way to fix that besides losing weight..lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
