Night and day!! You will spit on the stock shocks.....

I havent thought about the price for one second since I put mine on. They are definately worth every single cent.

 

Just for comparison purposes, the Ohlins shocks for a DS are $1800. I have used both Elka and Ohlins shocks, and actually prefer the Ohlins, but that is just me. All of these top of the line shocks are pretty pricey.
