Elka 2.0 or Bilstien 6112/5160

Debating between the Elka 2.0 or Bilstien 6112/5160 set up for my 21 ORP. Looking at doing 2.5 up front and 2” in the rear . I really hate the body roll on my non-kdds . If you had to choose what would you go with and if you go with ?
Thank you ,

I believe Elka will use a stronger spring rate front coil (you'd have to check with them). Not sure what rear coil they give, but stronger spring rates decrease body roll.

 

I would personally go Bilstein. It's a heavier duty, thicker shock compared to an Elka 2.0. It will reduce body roll just fine. The coil they use has a higher spring rate than stock and the valving is firmer as well. Pair that with the appropriate rear coils and shocks and you'll reduce stock body roll significantly.

Elka has had some manufacturing issues with some of their shocks. The ones I remember were the ones they made for Toytech. I'm not sure if that extended to the Elka branded shocks as well but it's worth looking into. It's nice that they have aluminum bodies though.

 

Atleast for Elka 2.5DC it's 700 front. They don't give any rear springs.

 

Bilstein and Elka, both very good products. Instead of the 2.0 Elka, did you consider the 2.5? So, if I had to choose, I would go with the Bilstein 6112/5160. I've had Bilstein products before, and they stood up to plenty of torture, so durable. I've always wanted to get Elkas for a truck/suv, I've got some on a old 4-wheeler, nice, but kind of cost-not-friendly. Good luck.

 

bilstein gets my vote

 

Well I placed my order and decided to go with the Bilstien set up . 6112/5160 with camburg uca OME rear springs . Hopefully I get all my parts by end of next week. Mudify had a good deal with free assembly and shipping .
