Would help if you specified how much you weigh, which trucks you have and which eggs you were going to get.

GI, MBS, and Trampa all make elastomer eggs.

Turns great, you don't have to crank them down very tight and it gives you room to tighten more if you need to

I weigh 200 lb and use MBS orange eggs. I have them cranked down and they turn a bit too easily and make riding in gusty winds very interesting - always thought I should try the reds
