• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Elkas question

    The 2013 and 2014 shocks are the same length. It sounds like you may have a set of 2010-2012 Spyder shocks, which are 1 full inch shorter.

    Elkas question

    Well, the front stock shocks are sprung very very weak, so we use stiffer springs with less preload which ensures that the shock does not use its available travel after the slightest bump....so you will be able to save your bumpskid no problem. ;)

    Elkas question

    The answer to that question is No. They maintains the same static ride height as the stock, unlike the 2010-2012 shocks.

    Elka Shocks

    The shocks on the 2013-14 are approximately 1 inch longer than 2010-12, therefore they are not interchangeable. There wll be some great deals going on at Spyderfest if you plan to attend, but if you are unable to, you can contact Len at Pitbull and he can certainly get you taken care of...

    Rear Shock Replacement

    On the rear of your Spyder, you have 2 suspension devices....a shock absorber and an airbag which you control from your control panel. The switch on your control panel allows you to activate a compressor to add or remove air from the airbag. The shock absorber and the airbag are two completely...

    2010 RT-S shock upgrade

    Nancy`s Toy is correct. Insufficient compression and rebound damping can certainly have an influence with body roll. This biggest problem (besides inadequate spring rates) with the stock Spyder shocks is insufficient rebound dampening. The role of rebound dampening is to slow down the effect of...

    Front end alignment/semi rant (Laser aligning is a MUST do)

    Thank you for your clarification. I am not sure where my post deviates from my response to your earlier enquiry, as I was not clear on what model or year of Spyder you have, however my earlier response to you still stands. It remains that if there is demand in the market for a Stage 5 shock for...

    Front end alignment/semi rant (Laser aligning is a MUST do)

    If I may, we did look into options to manufacture the shocks to include internel floating pistons, but with the intended use of the vehicle ( pavement ), there was little justification for us to offer such a shock. It would have only increased the price of our products, and our customers were...

    Oops.....sorry.:opps: Just to refill the shocks with Nitrogen will cost you less than it will shipping them to our service center. If you need a complete oil change in the shock, it is $85 per shock.
