should I replace rear shock with the fronts?

I'm finding that my resprung, revalved OEM rear done by J6 performs way better than this stage 4 rear I got when they had the promo going on.

Really?...interesting. Maybe I can save myself some money.

So far I'm pretty disappointed.  We'll see when I get it back from them.  I have a lot of experience tuning suspension and I've gone through all their hoops and tried all their suggestions and now they want it back to check it out.  For $275 that J6 rebuild is pretty dam good.

Was that stage 4 from the factory?  Elka is known to send out shit setups from time to time.  They really shine when they're setup by another shop, which is why I'm waiting on mine to blow.

Got them back from the factory and all they did was swap for stiffer springs.  Still the same non progressive shitty valving them came with originally.  After all the issues I've had with these shocks you would have thought they would at least open them up to verify the internals were right.  Now its on my dime to send them to another builder to have them set up right.  Elka is a joke.

Mine perform wonderfully.  Not perfect, but more than good enough to keep from holding me back.  They'll be sent out when they're blown.
