pennyman, thanks for the dollars worth of info LOL

Ray from Hitachi in Calif left me a voicemail this morning: "Tokico no longer makes high performance shock absorbers; please return my call I you have any questions..." What he did not say speaks volumes as well & pretty much explains why I could not find a supplier that sells Tokico shocks... So, at this point it seems the KYB monotube is the way to go but done correctly would need limit straps for the rear...

Make it a great day ~ George
