FWIW, I'd like to report that I have two sets I obtained from Brentwood Bob...both sets were properly matched and worked perfectly.

As for availability of rebuildable cores, I had a boxful I sent out to Bob as part of a trade deal on a separate project he was doing for me...they all looked OK from the outside but it seems that only a couple out of the 10 or so I sent were usable cores. All had been off of cars for some time. I think the comments made by others about the difficulty of obtaining rebuildable cores is certainly true.

Buying a rebuilt set is expensive, but original shocks are only going to cost more as time marches on...I'd recommend folks consider saving up and buying a set while some are still available...I suspect reproductions when they become available again will set a new high price record.
