Greetings from Colorado,

I have a DRC shock starting to get a little damp and will soon be an official leak I'm sure. After my mechanic priced a couple or front units for me at 750ish each I started to poke around the internet and of course was directed to Ebay. Once on eBay there were plenty to be found and at to good to be true pricing. My question is could these be NOS items from the pre recall days just lurking in the shadows waiting to be installed and commence immediate leaking or would someone have gone to the trouble to make knock offs for a car with only 1500 units built or lastly just a great price for an OEM shock. I am baffled at what a simple design the shocks are and yet can't seem to last more then 40-50,000 miles. Mine were done on recall at 37K and car is now at 80K. Granted time wise they lasted a good stretch but miles wise not so much. Anyway any advice or opinions (other then switch to coil overs) would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any insight,

Damon
