Hi folks, I need to get some info on this set of shox, one of each set shown. They came off a Lola 202 VFF but they didn't originally come with the car so that's not relevant.
The one on the left in the photo (all silver) is the shorter of the two sets (from the front) and has no makers name on it but the "Do Not Open" in English and German on the body cap might be a tipoff. This shock appears to be pressurized as the shaft on one will slowly come back out after compression though the other does so quite a bit slower so I suspect some pressure loss in that one. No gurgling when the shaft direction is reversed. The stampings at the base are shown in the photos but I'll list them here:
39279190296 228/102 on both. I suspect the first set of numbers is a combo serial/series/date, the second set perhaps valving?
The one on the right is a SPAX, has an adjustment knob that has 30 clicks and appears to affect both bump and rebound at the same time, gurgles on shaft direction reversal so likely needs to be re-built or at least topped up. Has the following numbers on both:
C145DD2 GE2
I'm considering replacing my remote reservoir Penskes on my PRS Club Ford car with these as I want to get away from pressurized shocks but as the silver set is pressurized I think that would be a lateral move at the front of the car.
Any and all info welcome!
