Fox coilovers vs. King coilovers Vs. Elka

The only damage was the lose of one mirror and experience marks on the roof.

cool....... no damages...
so will you guys make it on the 7th at glen helen?

No, not this time. We hope to run the next years series. Keep us posted on the new race series dates. Good luck on your next race.

Update on king shocks for revot and riot , king should be doing some testing within two week on bruce and cheryl riot and i will also be giving them my revolt so they can get the shocks set up and tested at the same time a 2.0 , king will be offering shocks with remote reservoirs , piggy backs , and clicker so you can adjust from the
from the resevoirs call with question and pricing 951-966-7643 kevin

well at this point we have three board memebers running the king shocks with clickers , i hope after the holidays we will get some feed back ..... merry xmas and happy new years to everyone. kevin

oh i forgot to post , i have 2 sets of elka shocks for the riots and one set of elites for the riot all shocks are new , i may seperate the standard elkas for the guys with revolts... they will fit on the front well give me a call of email if interested , i also will have king coil overs for the revolts and riots all kings will have ajusters....

I had the Fox Podium in my stock RZR-S. My Elka Elites were the first change I made after getting back from Glamis. They were far superior to the stock shocks. That's why I bought them on my Riot as it was far superior to my RZR-S. I don't have any experience to speak of with King's. Other than their long standing as an excellent shock in the race world. Walker Evans were rather well thought of as well, and the RZR-S with those on it in our MX circuit, upgraded to Elka's this off season.

I hope the King's work great!! The more top vendors in our community the better. If you watch the car's flip ass over cab from suspension unloading, make sure you get a shock with rebound adjustments if you run a standard shock. Pre-load alone won't fix that. compression adjustment only goes so far.

I earler wrote in this post that I would consider the King's as I had a bit of frog bump on my Elka's on big jumps. But I had major distance. If I raised my pre-load and compression damping I could land better, but I would fly ass high like all the other SXS's on the track. So, I just decided that 30 ft doubles and step ups just work the shocks good!! LOL

Since my Elka's held up so well, I decided to stick with what I knew and bought a pair of the great deal Elka's that Mike at Red Rock has!! I gotta admit that the Riot with King's on it that Kevin at Toyz sold looks sweet!! I know he did his homework and it should be a killer ride!! That's a sweet lookin ride!! But I had to stick with what I knew!! Elka 2 Stage Elites with damping. Elka is helping me set up my car to 4 corner weight and I expect (like always) to be the course monster on the whoop section!! Always my personal passing fast lane while everyone else looks they're riding a go cart over a farmers turn rows!!

The cost? My old Grand Dad taught me years ago, "You get what you pay for." If King's are your historical best product, get them!! Can't go wrong. Elka just filled that slot for me...... and you can't run two shocks, only a single coil over in BITD rules. Going Pro- in the Riot has its limits, especially in a Pro-Spec Class.

We're all on Team Redline in this forum...... So we have to make sure we get great product updates from our members.

Below is the thread to Mike's Great Deal if you choose Elka. Kevin at Toyz has the market on King's. Both good supporting vendors.

Hey:

Rather than bug Lance during his family time over the holidays, we just hung out with them for a some good old R&R and jabbering. We have made a few changes to the re-bound (all around) and upped the springs (front). So, this weekend we have a game plan and a list of tests to do. Will let you know the outcome. Cheers, Bruce and Cheryl

Definately making progress ... but still in the testing mode. Did 46mph down sand hwy from Store to Krazy Kevin's... not as stable as I would like it.. got passed by a buggy... so I had to pass him back .. ya know!. The whoops on the new road side of the tracks were a breeze.. almost took a nap runnin' at 42mph (per my GPS). Jumpin' is good... but the a** end is pullin half the hill up with it... landing on my belly, but no spine splittin hits. Cheryl & Bruce
