Hi everyone.
I just received them
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270310214603&_trksid=p2759.l1259
good price so I decided to buy them.
Unfortunately they sent me two different...one is all black and one is red (and black plastic cover)
What do you think, are they different?
I tried to push/pull them in my hands and
black goes easy for 10cm then I can feel resistance
red's got resistance from first push/pull
Generally I would say that red is stronger than black...
I sent email to seller and I see what they're going to say....
But I worry that they've got different specification...

Funny that...i was going to get some shocks from them....sounds odd???

yeah....
but it looks like it's Motor Factors...maybe there is no different but I can feel some so my sensitive Panda will feel too

:yeahthat: I was also going to get some.

Other than the colour, do they look the same? I'd get them to take them back personally if they've different resistance level, could be dangerous!

I too was going to get a set! But glad I didnt now.

Don't forget as with all shock absorbers you need to fully extend, and compress them about ten times before fitting. Try this and then compare the resistance. But I do agree they should look the same.

Yes there is only different colour...shape and all look the same (plastic cover, "made in ECC" ?? etc)

Might just be as Avanti500 says then hopefully, bit of a pain though. Do you think the colour difference would be hughly noticeable when they're fitted

Jon.

They should be the same shape and colour.....

I paid 20 for 2 so it's cheaper that in scrap yard...stock clearance...that's only why I bought them....If I would like to buy good mark I wouldn't buy them
