Gears & Crosses Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) I need new front shocks for my 02 Shee and like most people I am budget limited do to too many toys. I think I have about $500 to spend. I do mostly trail / rec riding with some jumping but nothing big. I am satisfied the stock rear shock. After looking on the net, I see Works steelies with resi's, Used yfz450, very basic Elka's Am I missing any here? Which ones will handle the best? Can someone comment on the Works because I haven't seen to much on the net about them. Thanks in advance, Gears Edited September 16, 2006 by Gears & Crosses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgetthisdone Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I would go with elka's. The works "steelers" have a steel bod, hence the name, whereas the elkas have a hard anodized aluminum body which is just as strong as steel but will shed heat much better. Get the elkas.

Gears & Crosses Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks for the reply! Do works shocks perform well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'll be getting the yfz's becuase you can find them from $150 to $250 and because I'll be getting +2 A arms. Many are running that set up no complaints. However, if money was not an issue i would definately start off with Elka Resi's. Sandsport Super Show here in Cali has them without the Resi $400.

letsgetthisdone Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I would go with Elkas over the hydrodynamics just cuz elka is an established company and hydrodynamics isn't(they're relativaly new). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
