    Wanted: Rear Shocks (Mid-State, Easy Rider or KYB)

    I wanted to see if anyone had a pair of used rear shocks that they wanted to sell. Specifically, I'm looking for the Mid-State DMC shocks, the Easy Riders that Hervey sells or the KYB's.

    Send me a PM with a price if interested.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    FYI:
    I have John's Easy Riders and installed the front shocks first and loved the ride difference from the stock front shocks. I later installed his easy rider rear shocks and did not notice any difference from the stock rear shocks.

    Any cross reference shock is a disaster waiting to happen (the ones hervey sells) as a locking collar is not an adequate way to hold the rear of the car up!

    I literally cleaned my garage last weekend and tossed a set of girlings!

    I've never been a fan of the Girlings. I thought the ride was way too harsh. I swapped out 4194's Girlings for Easy Riders a couple years ago and I've been happy with the results. 5052s rear shocks are both totally blown out, so I will need to replace them before any distance driving.
