New shocks on, and took the coupe for a ride. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the set I removed, rebuilt by John Holland, and the new Stipes. The Holland shocks needed replacement, though; the front ones were leaking. The rears are fine. However, I have only had those shocks on the car for less than 2000 miles. I expected more.

I'm not disappointed in Stipes. I figure they will last me for the rest of my life. But John Holland's, at least the rears, served OK for 17 months.

So I'll be putting the Holland shocks up for sale on the Swap Meet page shortly, if anyone can use two good ones and two leakers.
