WTB a pair of usable cheap rear shocks that are not Kill Your Backs.
Background: I'm buying into AutoAtlanta's Sachs purchase, and they're showing 120 days out for that. I'd not be surprised if, given current events, that gets extended. In the meantime, my street car ride is harsh; a prior owner actually cut the rear springs (they fall out of the seats when it's on the lift) and installed KYBs. Bang! So I'm looking for something cheap to get me by. I already have a set of 914Rubber rear springs that I got from a fellow Worlder, so I'm looking for some "to get me by for now" rear shocks and lower seats. Whadya got? Shipped to Middletown CT 06457. Thanks! |

I that works for you I can test some today. Bruce |

Just wondering, what is better, oil filled or gas filled? All dampers are oil filled. Better dampers are gas charged to minimize oil frothing (could apply to both twin tube dampers and mono tube dampers). Generally speaking the best dampers are gas filled monotube dampers. They have better cooling, and reduced valve lag. |
