Just a "head's up"

The "stock shocks" that come with the kit may fail on ya. Mine failed a few weeks ago.

1.If any paint or other material gets on the shaft, it can ruin the seal.(pssssh)
2. The shock can snap here!

I originally though mine had a blown/ruined seal, but it turns out it had snapped. I ordered the "better" shock.

I had worried a bit when getting the kit, due to the heavy Fiero doors...if you are going to get them, get the "3500n" shock with them...

Thanks. I'm glad I ordered the better ones for my choppers. Although my "old" styled ones haven't "snapped" they will be replaced. Like you, I got the better ones too for the "weight" issue and being able to raise the doors easier----girly man, hehe.
