    Default Shock Identification help

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if I could get some help identifying a pair of shocks. These came on my car when I bought it originally. They are gas shocks, and have offset tabs built in to the top of them to put the shock behind the beam towers. There is an aluminum cap from the bottom side to take them apart. And ideas? It was suggested by someone that these are Fox. They worked really well when I used them, but I have upgraded to Penskes since.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. Like I said, they worked pretty well for me when I ran them.

    Now... out of curiousity, because you never really see or hear about these.... what would they be worth? I doubt they'd be worth as much as a pair of black Penskes, but definitely more than a basic Carreras.

    Aww... and I just got the Penskes working right...

    I had considered that, but only briefly. Spent too much time & money getting those right. Then again, people still use steering dampers for front shocks too.
