I don't know if or how well they will work for us. The price was right enough for me to use them for setup and experimentation.. Lets hope the seller shows the same enthusiasim as in his first e-mail if I reply about busted/crappy shocks.
Going back over e-bay I now see the market is flooded with these shocks. Seems like every sort of china parts vender on e-bay is selling them now. I don't know if that is a good sign or just some factory sales rep. offering some really crazy profit margin deals.
If your brother is lifting wheeels, he may not be tight enough
Yeah, I might just wait and see what you think about them before I push the buy button! lol

My brother's shocks are similar but he paid much less from an ebay liquidator, the ones you have are a much higher quality... I think the air cans are on his just for looks! adjusting them makes no difference. I don't know how they work, but he let all the air out and they still are tight. If I stand on the front of his buggy and jump they move about .5-1"! maybe 2" if I jump hard. If he rolls over a rock on one side then he is on 3 wheels for sure.
