    Default Shock experience

    Has anyone had any experience with the new Fox Adjustable Fronts p/n219400733. Price point 849 is a bit steep. How do they stack up to Elka?

    Default can't compare

    I knew I didn't like the stock front shocks that much on my RT, so when I pre-ordered my F3, I got the upgraded front shocks. I'm happy with them and so far haven't felt the need for a sway bar.

    Since I've never had Elkas I can't compare. Hopefully someone else will chime in on that.

    Default Tough one...

    Comparisions on expensive items are hard to come by. I have the Fox shocks but changed from stock. I also have other mods to the suspension and the shocks were the last change. The are very good and have helped a lot in the handling. Elkas, Race Tec and some european shocks are very good as well but pricy and need maintenace so it comes down to budget and need.. Many start with the alignment and the swaybar and see if they need to go further...
