    Yes and Yes.

    Although I have a 2010 RT. Fronts were most noticeable for me. Rear was most notable for my wife (passenger).

    Default Rear Elka Shock

    Recently installed the latest, less expensive rear Elka Shock on my 2010 RT-S. Very noticable positive difference over OEM rear shock. I would highly recommend the changeout.

    The fronts show just how bad the rear is. I bought one I haven't had time to put it on.

    Glad you are liking your elka's! I love happy ryders. Once you've got elka's there's no going back to stock!

    Stopped by Cowtown today (enroute from Nebraska back to Georgia. Len is GREAT tho not sure I can afford Spyderfest. Got to sit on the Cowtown tricked out Performace Spyder RT. Just sitting on it cost me a set of Elka front shocks. Len offered to let me take the Cowtown trick pony for a spin but I refused. 'fraid that Spyderfest will cost me more. And SWMBO was trying out a new seat for her GS.

    Can't wait to get Elkas installed. Will let y'all know how it goes.

    Have Elkas front n rear. Replaced the rear after it was not rebounding right. Dealer said it was fine as the airbag was holding air. Duh! BEWARE of Loves Park Motorsports.
