These shocks improved the ride of my F3 . I was nose diving when braking now that doesn't happen and I was constantly scrubbing the nose that is also a thing of the past

Stage 2 for 2018 F3T
I never do reviews but this was worth it. I'm no rookie I'm 71 years old and have been riding for 50+ years. I always had a slight problem doing left-handed sweeping turns on the Spyder. Always with a flutter in your chest. I did a lot of reading on the forums about shocks. I decided to go with the Elka Stage 2 as recommended by Lamonster. I only purchased the two fronts and installed them in under an hour. I went on my first ride on Sunday with the new shocks. Totally night and day. The ride improved 100%. The best mod I ever did including the sway bar which helps but not as much as the shocks. If you want glue to the road performance get these shocks. Thanks Mike

Stage 2 Elka Shocks (front set)
Love these!! They provide a dramatic improvement in overall ride quality and cornering security compared to the stock shocks. Worth every $$.

Don't wait to upgrade!
There is only one option to upgrade in the UK and that is through the dealers. The reports though are mainly from the USA so I bit the bullet. Great service and tracking (very fast) with the expected UK tax (20%)as they came through customs. Very easy to fit. Wow! What an improvement on the OEM shocks (15k miles). Springs and compression set up as promised giving a smooth and secure ride. Thanks.

Elka Shocks
Finally some good shocks up front, to match the one in the back 3 years later. I ordered these from the company directly 3 years ago, and they were not setup right, I think gas fill was empty, and I went round and round with Elka before they sent me an MRS to return them to the factory. When they received them they said they were perfect that I didn't know what I was talking about. So I hesitated to try another set if the company said what I got was perfect. My originals had 17K plus miles on them I needed more from them especially riding two-up. I got these and held my breath hoping they were not the same, I put them on and what a difference they made. This is what I was looking for the whole time. I HIGHLY recommend these shocks!

Elka Shocks stage 2
Just installed! Performance is everything and these have met my expectations.

Much better than expected!
I hand no idea what to expect after owning my 2019 F3 limited for a little over a year now. I wasn't comfortable taking curves, especially when ridding 2-up. aaaah take incurves with confidence now and no more bottoming out. These Elka Stage 2's are all that's needed for a great ride. this is the modification that everyone needs to make.

Elka Shocks
These shocks are amazing. Everybody says this should be the first modification you do to your Spyder, and they are absolutely correct! Wish we had put these on a lot earlier. Super easy install and the ride is so much better. I highly recommend these to anybody.
