Without a doubt, Elka has far superior hardware...

Buy the best shocks you can afford & you won't be sorry.

Take a look here for a comparison of a Works bodied shock vs an Elka shock. You make the call.

Good eye, but note that I said Works bodied shocks. The older TCS's like those are a Works shock body & shaft with a shim stack piston, different springs, and factory Honda reserviors.

Basically a fancy Works shock...

Where do you find these Elka shocks? I am planning on getting a pair of front shocks for my 300EX.

www.elkasuspension.com
I emailed them and asked for all the options on the 300ex. When they send it back to me I'll post here.
