I need to replace my front shocks. What are some good aftermarket brands?
Hi all.
I could use some help in the shock department. The front shocks on my 96 300EX need replaced and I have read that the stock Honda ones kinda suck. Can anyone give me any reccomendations for a good quality aftremarket replacement that are not too expensive. I don't do any jumping or racing, just trail riding. Lots of whoops and rocky trails basically.
Thanks!

If all you want is a nice plush ride, then Works Performance "Steelers" suspension is all you need. Don't even worry about getting the reservoirs either. You can find these brand new on ebay a lot of times and they are very inexpensive. However, if you plan on jumping or riding hard on the trails, then you should really go with a quality shock. I would recommend Elka suspension because they offer their shocks at an entry level without reservoirs for those who don't have the $$ to spend on a full race set up. The good part is that the entry level shocks can be turned into the high end shocks because of their valving inside.

You can get a new set of Works Triple rate Steelers for around $300. They will valve them for your specific weight and riding style. I had a set on my 400, and the difference from stock was amazing. I recently stepped up to Elkas, but haven't had a chance to try them out yet.
