Elka Shocks Stage 1 vs. Stage 1 Plus?

[SilverSurfer]

I'm about to bite the bullet through KewlMetal to purchase my Elka Stage 1's for my RT-S. Now I notice there is a Stage 1, and then a Stage 1 plus (for exactly the same price - $635.00) that includes a "reservior."

Revealing my mechanical ineptitudes, what is the reservioir for and on an RT-S, what would the hose hook into? ... or is the hose for an external pump of some type?

Thanks :read:

Generally, the reservoir allows for more fluid to be used, as well as keeping the fluid outside the shock body to cool it. Some are attached to the shockbody, some are remote reservoirs that you mount in a separate location. There are no additional lines that need to be hooked up.

Silver Surfer,

I am not sure that the price is correct on those 1 way + shocks on my website. I have a question in to Elka about this and I will try to get it straightened out tomorrow for you.

The price on the 1 way+ is $975 for the pair. I have updated the kewlmetalstore. Sorry for the confusion.

975?? I'm sorry, but that's insane... Are these race grade shocks? I don't understand why they have to cost so much. Can someone explain?

This what I was told by ELKA,

The stage one + is very simple adjustment shock they are perfect for a person who want a minimum performance without compromise of adjustments.

Front Pair RR36BR 845$
For the rear the minimum is a stage two
Rear: 845$
