Elka is even better than Works for these. I got a new dual rate Elka rear shock for mine from Teixeira Tech for their extended rear housing plates, and it was actually cheaper than the single rate Works. (Despite their website, Works no longer makes the dual rate option for the rear shock on these.) The Elka is much better quality too. I have a Works rear, and it's not very good. Better than stock, but not much. My Elka cost $40 less than the single rate Works, and is much better quality. But, I did have to wait a long time to get it.
