Stipe Shock Availability
 

I just this moment got off of the phone with Stipe Machine. They had two complete sets of shocks in stock. I bought one. I thought I'd let you all know that they have one set left as of 10:30 AM, March 20.

I figured I'd be lucky to get on a waiting list, which they told me they will be starting shortly.

I just ordered a full set (4) of Stipe shocks (Jan 2019), which are on their way - looking forward to receiving them.

I wish someone would take one shock apart and show what real works of art are. They are machined beautifully and i have had one in my hands apart..

Attached is my list (Snyders) for all shock items that are needed but do not come with the Stipe shocks.

William,

I just received an email that you had posted a question about the shocks and the use of the tubular links. After installing the shocks the ride was completely different. They transformed the car and made the ride far smoother than I thought was possible. As for the links, I changed to the tubular links for authenticity, and though they are more challenging to install I was very happy with the appearance from the front.

Thanks RAVENTRONE. I emailed Stipe and they are assembling more shocks. I will order my set when they inform me they are ready to ship. Great to hear about the improvement in your cars ride.
