I'll agree with the above. learn the quad first, they are not gonna make you any faster until you can outdrive your quad,,,,then get them. I'll say this from EXPERIENCE, Elkas are incredible and there is no real way to describe what they do for the ride of your quad,,,,,but to understand that you first have to live without them to understand what living without them is like.

OK......... Do any of you guys know how much Travel does Stadium have in the front? I am not sure how much travel they have but it is a lot!!! the customer service for stadium is so much better than elka! when stadium sends out there shocks they are ready to be put on! you may need to adjust them a little but not much! unlike elka where you have to send them back and fourth because they springed it wrong or valved it wrong! elka also has air in their shocks! just ask TRX#9 about his pogostick full of air for a back shock! or aske him how many times he had to send them back because they were wrong! stadium was just released in the US last year and they out sell elka in Canada 60 to 40! stadium also has a money back guarantee! |

you can get any type of a-arm! they will make them to fit! you just have to get the specs of the a-arms and tell stadium! also the owner of stadium builds your shocks not some crony in the back!
you will also need ball joints, tie rods, tie rod ends, brake lines, and brake line clamps.

Does Stadium sell "ball joints, tie rods, tie rod ends, brake lines, and brake line clamps." |

IDA has a point, looking past the sarcasm if you ride the quad get a feel for what it does and then improve in areas that makes you a better rider.
