Technical manual
Shocks acquired from
1990's Nissan GTU factory program. Originally there were 8 shocks
but we used two of the on our GTU car. Remaining 6 unites were never
used by us. They are all in very good condition and were rebuilt
just prior to our buying them. Current valving inside the shocks
is unknown and spring seats are not included.
New 8100 Series Double
adjustable shocks listed for $770 each in 2005. Everything listed
above can be bought for $2000 plus freight. Call for costs on separate
items if you are not interested in entire package.
