Found these gas filled shocks on Fleabay, and was wondering if someone had any experience

Are they made in Mexico? Because they look like El Cheapo.

Price should be an indicator of quality for those. For about 2.5 times that you can have Hagons which are very nice. Or go the vintage route and find ones that are rebuildable.

They look cool but everything I have read on them has been negative from their feel to their durability

And better oil and seals.... ;D :o

There was a story of a guy who rebuilt them to make them safer and work better and it cost more than the shocks and he didn't recommend them, one member had one actually break... :o
