Will, we have installed several sets of them on customer's cars now, and while I have never driven a Model A with N.O.S. shocks on it, I personally feel Bill's shocks are a huge improvement over a set of rebuilt shocks (of which I have used several rebuilders over the years).
I have physically seen the inside of the Stipe shocks, and he has made a couple of minor changes that has probably improved them over the original design but the biggest reason why I like them is the amount of adjustability in them. This amount is much greater than what I have experienced with rebuilt original ones. What I don't know is whether this is due to everything being back within tolerences, --or whether those mods Bill made are what the difference is. I realize they are expensive and are not for everyone, however I doubt you will ever find anyone dissatisfied with owning a set of the Stipe shocks.
