They do not look right for Stipe Shocks.

#2 I don't know a lot about them, But I think someone mixed a front arm with with a rear arm, They are different lengths.

#3, They do not match! A set of Stipe shocks (I believe) are all marked which wheel they go to and they are very nicely made and cost over a $1000 a set in America, Germany? Who knows?

I think the pictures are of the shocks Werner is taking off, to be replaced by his new Stipes. His question is about the arms.

Warner, not only do you have two different shocks, you have two different arms. I think the longer straight arm is actually the rear arm. The shorter arm may be a front one but the configuration does not look correct. It may have been bent?? Look at the difference in Snyder's catalog https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/shock-arms
