15 year old shocks on a race car? I dont run shocks over 10 years old on my race car. But thats jmo, I would try Nueces Auto Parts. They might have some 15 year old shocks. Bought some pinto shocks there one time and the box they came in looked about that old.

What difference does age make if they work? I bought several brands of new rear shocks when I raced the Opel & none lasted over 3-4 races. The 23 year old Bilsteins that came on the car worked better than any of them. After a while, I just quit looking for new shocks & left the old ones alone. I've tried two different brads on this mustang & still haven't found any I like the feel of. Wish I had some old Bilsteins for it too.

And you were going to tell me when? :D

 

CAN YOU SMELL WHAT HART IS COOKING?!?

 

The plan was to tell you later this week when I call, to tell you that the plan that we discussed was being put from thought to action, from paper to reality, from dream to, well, you get the idea....but a certain neighbor beat me to the punch, or call, that is... ;)

 

Oh - and there is more that a certain neighbor did not see... :ph34r:
