So my I'm going to buy a set NEW TF Elka shocks from a neighbor of mine for a SUPER cheap price here soon. I'm debating if I should either resale and make some profit on them to just pay for some 5100s or something a bit better and leave me with some extra cash. Or should I stick with deal and use them. I have a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift waiting to be installed. I've great things about them and I know they are amazing but if I do the resale right I would be able to basically get a set 5100s for free. I off road, but rarely do I do anything like what the Elkas are supposed to be for (high speed/washboard kinda stuff)?

Just looking for a extra opinion.

Thanks

 

Just curious, why wouldn't you encourage your friend to sell them and make the extra cash himself? Seems like you are taking advantage of him. Now if. He is cool with you making a profit I would get the 5100s based on your driving habits.

Good luck.

 

If you like your neighbor don't buy,go with your original plan

 

Take the deal!

 

I knew someone would say that. But he actually bought them off someone and is selling them to me for the same price he bought them for. I quote "I want to get rid of them and get my coilovers before my wife changes her mind" haha. We have been friends for years and he knows he can easily resale them for more but wants to get rid of them now. Thank you for your concern though!

I'm getting mixed opinions on here about what to do We'll see where this goes!

 

You can t regret keeping them. I have TeraFlex Tuned Fox... It was one of the best things I bought for my jk.
Keep the Elka and thanks your friend later. At least, install them and feel the difference...

 

I fitted a set of Elka's about 3 weeks ago, admittedly at the same time I fitted speed bumps and some MC arms but the difference in ride is unbelievable!! I used AEV spec Bilsteins before and these are so much more comfortable both on and off road. Oh and I've tried OME, got to say I wont be trying anything else............ Get the Elka's and run em!

I would recommend buying and keeping the Elka's. you'll greatly appreciate them. Why sell them and downgrade to Bilstein 5100's, when you can keep and use the Elka's. You may not not use them to their full advantage, but you may someday, and you'll really appreciate them fully.

 

Cool, It seems people feel it would be better for you to run these instead of the 5100s. Thanks for the response.

 

I'll take them for your price!!! )
