I meant maybe the part number may be different because they changed spring rates on 2023. Not saying they did . The parts diagram from Honda parts warehouse indicates they fit all years

They dont fit all years according to Honda.
Where did you find the spring rate information?

Sorry for the confusion. I am not saying the rates are different. I was just wondering if that is why the part numbers are different . Honda parts warehouse says they fit all years from 2015. I thought we were referring to the whole assembly and why the part numbers might be different for 2023

I apologize as well, I thought you meant they stated they were the same 2015-2024.

The part number being as different as it is, probably means just that, they change the part itself and not just a supplier change. It could be that simple, a spring rate. I doubt it's any longer or anything else.

I am hoping this is the case. I am ready to pull the trigger on a set of Stage 2 Elka. I just don't want to find they won't fit.

Just FYI, ATV Galaxy cut a deal on a Stage 2 Elka set of 4 AFTER they called Elka to make sure they fit. Still $1890 delivered. Just waiting for Elka to build and set them up now.

I hope you like them. They should make a pretty big difference. Let us know after you try them

Elka took a ton of info on the buggy, my primary type of terrain and weight of load and persons. Will I have to change the ride height as well?

When installing them I would reccomend checking to see if your a arm bolts were torqued at ride height. I have a 1000-3 and found them to be torqued at full droop. Correcting it gave a slightly better ride from the factory shocks.

Success! Finally had a chance to run these Elka Stage 2's over the roads at my northern AZ property and I am thoroughly impressed. Running over jagged rocks 3-4 inches high was just like butter! Install was very simple on the fronts, had to remove the bolt on the lower a-arm to get the rears in.

How are you liking them. Just picked up a 2024 700-4 and wanted to confirm these would work.
