[justhere45102]

last year I put 2 elkas stage 2 front shocks on and they are doing good ordered back from Lamonster but canceled due to b\0. went looking to order it again but it was went up in price about 130 for the rear. so just looking at what other brands people have used and like.

Thanks

I suggest you simplify this by doing what I did ..... switched to a solid strut .... I have pics ( with explanations ) on an Album ( go to my Bio page ) ....... PS my strut makes checking / adding BRAKE fluid much easier ..... good luck .... Mike

Wilber's makes a rear shock for the F3 line. Contact Ted Porter at Wilber's America. I have a 640 HPA on the way, it'll take about 30 days. He also didn't charge me msrp.

h0gr1der changed out his rear spring. Here is his thread: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...ng-it-Adjustable&highlight=suspension+upgrade

Before you just swap out your OEM spring to a heavier spring, you should have the shocked dyno'd. Too much spring pressure could overwhelm the OEM valving. That would result in a bouncy, pogo stick type shock.

Rear shock options for the F3 would be: BRP, Wilber, M2, Ikon, Race Tech and Elka.

You can get both Wilber's and M2's cheaper than Elka's, but might have to wait a month for the Wilber's..
