I need help with new front shocks

[Gears & Crosses]

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

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.

Thanks for the reply!

 

 

 

Do works shocks perform well?

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.

Thats what i was wondering, im torn between hydronamics and elka's.

I would go with Elkas over the hydrodynamics just cuz elka is an established company and hydrodynamics isn't(they're relativaly new).
