TCS are changing their shocks using diffrent components. They will no longer be using works components. They are going to use ELKA's components with the larger shock bodies and the 5/8in. shaft. They will still use the same valving and springs with the zps setup. Also they will use the rezzys and not the piggybacks.

Thanks KyRaptor, that's some good info!

To tell you the truth, that's pretty funny considering that when I said that I had Elkas on the way that there were a few people telling me how much better the TCS shocks already were...

Next question.. What's TCS doing to the shocks that Elka isn't? Should I be thinking about having TCS do the valving or something?

Also, haven't heard from you in a while KyRaptor, how are things?

They are most likely doing this for two reasons. Firstly the Elkas are superior to the Works bodies. And secondly the Elkas are made in Canada, and since our dollar isn't doing to good against the U.S dollar, TCS will probably save quite a bit of money. Either way its a win win situation for them.

Do you know when they switched or will switch?

The TCS I ordered 4 weeks ago will probably be the older model but any aftermarket shock is better than the Warrior's stock shocks. If they do happen to be the new model how would I be able to tell?
Thanks for the info.
