Has anyone actually held all three brands of the different shocks in there hands so to speak? When I call vendors and ask them to "sell" me on their product as opposed to the Fox shocks, they can't do it. I"m trying to buy really soon.

I looked at the Elka Stage 3 which appears to be the comparable model to the Fox, yet I can't see what I'm paying for the price difference.

Walker Evans tech support was clueless, which scares me.

The Fox rep couldn't help either because it's a Honda product. Hell don't you build it?

I did some shopping and homework too and came up with about the same results. Saying that I ended up going with Walker Evans. I would have went with the Fox but just did not want red lol. I will say Walker customer service was about a joke unless you can get ahold of Jason, the other two guys there acted like they could care less to help. Anyways, I can't say enough about what a difference the shock up grade makes. I think youll be happy anyway you go.

@joeymt33 we can trade WE for Fox and take them each for a spin, I just got mine dialed in this weekend for factory ride height.
