    Hey guys thought this would be a good topic of discussion.

    I know there are way too many people who have both good experience with the Radflo's, but was wondering if there was any feedback with the Aluma shocks (developed by Elka).

    If you have either or have any input please share.

    From our first hand experience here at the shop the Aluma's have been proven to out perform.

    2.5 shock bodies, aluminum bodies, corrosion resistance, rebuildable and serviceable.

    The aluminum bodies will help with the internals of the coilover itself to keep cool for longer performance as the aluminum will help disperse the heat accordingly.



    I personally love my alumas on my 4Runner! Have ran them for quite some time now with 0 issues.



    If you'd like some more information, please don't hesitate to call our line at 303-255-4959! We can go into specfics of the products themselves and walk you through everything you need! :)

    Question for toytec. For the 200 dollar difference are the Elkas a better buy? If so how if not why not?

    I'll second the inquiry for a matching rear Aluma series. Anything in the works on that?

    Great maybe I’ll order just the front coilovers to take advantage of the sale and wait for the matching rears.

    Well for the $200 +/- difference, with the Elkas you get the Resi with Compression adjusters (high and low speed), which is really awesome for someone that is throwing their truck at a ton of different types of offroad usage. But one thing I always ask customers is "how many times do you see yourself getting out of the vehicle, adjusting all 4 shocks, logging those numbers for that type of road." (I always recommend keeping a log on comp/ adjustable units so that way you know exactly how the truck is going to act during different situations).

    Aluma coilovers are really dialed in properly for the Tundra with a whole new outlook and design. Offering stellar ride quality for the daily driver/ weekend warrior style driver!


    Down side = Elka lead times are about 6-7 weeks.

    Aluma = in stock :)

    Could you respond to my PM please. My only concern with the aluma is the color. I have a black truck, and my biggest pet peeve is black and red on vehicles.
