Default Re: Shocks - reproduction vs. rebuilt

I used a set of Rotoshim for my car. The car rides amazing. They look like originals but are designed with new technology. Well worth the money. https://rotoshim.com/products-1/ols/...s-ford-model-a

I noticed they are on back order. I wonder what the wait time is?

Did you use the Model A arms and other hardware? A picture of your application would help.

Looks like it uses a shim stack like a modern shock, with no adjustment. So, I guess they are tuned at the factory for each body style/weight?

I've been using the Rotoshims - I have a set on two cars now. Definitely recommend them. If you tell them your application they can be factory tuned. Each shock is dynamically tested after assembly to make sure they're matched.
