Pelican also sells elephant parts - at the same price - just sayin . . .

Your choice . . .

We get excellent service from both.

Right here on the classifieds, but you have to be quick and know exactly what you want as there are different parts for different air cooled years - Honestly parts don't come up that often- because people install them and use them.

ER uses pelican as a distributor and there are several race shops that are authorized installers and distributors.

If you are buying new, you will probably do the best by buying through Pelican as you will get free shipping after X dollars spent.

Despite this I have bought a few things directly from ER as Pelican drop ships their stuff anyway so there can be a day or two difference (West coast)

Lastly, both Chuck and his employees are very knowledgeable. If you need to call and get info on install or recommendations, they are on it. Elephant has been one of the most consistently great companies, both in product and communication.

There is a funny story on the Forum from some member that bought lot of parts from Elephant Racing. His wife saw the credit card bill and accused him of wasting money betting on a sick and cruel and horrible race between elephants.

I can't stress enough how great it is to work with Chuck. He knows these suspensions backwards and forwards. I explained my needs to him, he made suggestions, and really took the time to help. I bought everything he suggested and the setup is absolutely what I had hoped for. If I ever do another P suspension, I'll just buy from Chuck again, no question, no brainer.

Just hide the bill from the wife, 'cause it won't be cheap and we don't want her thinking you are betting on racing elephants.

The slope is not slippery; in fact it is entirely frictionless.

I'd spend the extra money (if any?) and make a friend.

agree, I have never had customer service as good as elephant racing- from my suspension to oil coolers to custom lines- they just made things easy for me. I love them.

No, no, no... Try having amex call wanting to verify a charge for $500 made on “hotchicks.net” when purchasing sway bars from hotchkis sport. My wife thought I bought an inflateable doll. I had to show her the website. Not fun.
