i personally think (if money is not an issue) Walsh arms with elka elites. The big difference between elka and fox, well fox first off does not come set up for you and your exact riding style. Elka suspension comes from the factory completely dialed in for you. If you go with the fox suspension you most likely with never no if they are tuned properly, also since they are air shocks and not coils, if you go a month or two without riding, they will need to be readjusted. Elka also has some of the best customer service out there. as for aarms walsh,roll,4play, everyone is good (even the lonestar ds4 is a nice setup)

You have no idea what your talking about when it comes to shocks. Fox will send you your shocks set up for your weight and type of riding you do....the difference is your not stuck to it. The reason elka has to do this is with a spring shock they have to put the right spring for your weight and valve the shock to your riding style. With fox shocks they have more adjustabilty from weight to riding style, and it only takes 2 min to put some air in to your liking. I have owned elkas and they are usually not valved perfect when you get them. I don't mind elkas i would ride on them properly set up, but if given a choice....there is no comparison for ride quality, adjustability and ease of use.

i guess, but not all of us are sponsored and have trained people to help properly tuned the suspension. I am only repeating what i have heard, i didnt mean to offend you. for me elka is a great shock that needs little work.

maybe the best thing for you to do is if you have any friends or no some1 w/ a quad w/elkas and fox or any other brand for that matter test there quad out so you can feel the differance between them all!i personally like elkas they work for me just fine ive never tried fox yet olny some stock fox shocks on my buddys preditor which those suck!then youll have some idea before you buy!and when it comes down to it its what ever you like doesnt matter what any1 says some1 will always have somthin negitive to say about it anyway!
