neon14 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie49 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hey oldtimer, does that car you run start with a handcrank? or does it have a steam engine. Somebody told me you probably have to fred flintstone it but i didn't believe 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy_GT13 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
