The ones that are out there for 79 to 99 bucks are clean...but they are simply a rod with some rubber bumpers inside. This is a full scale gas shock rated to 2600LBS. Very absorbant..and the engine is not resting on a "stop" of rubber so it is allowed to use other suspention points as needed...like motor mounts, transmission mounts and the rear suspention mounts...this takes all the shock away...where the rubber one creates shock at the frame and does not distribute the torque down the line.

This works big time. I can guarantee if someone gets it...they will love it.

Mounts are something that has to be worked out. I have a system that is ghetto (pic) but bolts up to a KA, SOHC....for other engines, DOHC and S14, and the SR, RB and CA, I will need pics to design something, otherwise, I would sell the shock for 40 and you are on your own..and I suppose anyone with half a brain could build a mount..I did with OTC parts for 8 bucks.
My car loves it...so much more expensive feeling...and a blast to get on it. Not hype, just rear tire bite...like none before.
