• 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.

Elka Shocks Stage 1 vs. Stage 1 Plus?

SilverSurfer

RT-S PE#0391
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.

Matt
 
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$
