Associated Shock Colouring...

[markwilliamson2001]

I bought a car second hand, and it has different colour shocks on the front to the back...

I think the rear ones are original B4 ones, since they seem to give the correct amount of droop, and are light grey in colour. However the front ones look much shorter, and are much darker in colour.

Can anyone confirm this?

Hey Mark,

Those shock bodies were from a brand new kit, for some reason that's just how they come these days - guess they must be made in different places??

Hmmm interesting...

Was considering the upgrade to threaded shocks anyway!
I hate those damn clips!!!

I was talking to Torrence of Associated and he explained that they switched suppliers for their shock bodies, hence the difference...
