M&S are what I'm taking off. One broke (no fault of M&S, car was in a wreck) and the other..Well I'm not buying any more.

I just got back from a 25 mile round trip and the car really rides rough without any rear shocks.

If I purchase a set from Robert Paul, is it basically these here?

Model A Fan,

From my experience, Robert sells you the shocks only, not all of the hardware and links that are needed to install them. The ones I bought from him are rebuilt originals, not reproductions. I think you can do much better than $750 going this route, but it does take quite a while for his to arrive. Mine took about 6 months, which I was aware of when I ordered them.

John Holland rebuilt a set for me and I am very satisfied. He matched all of the bases, covers, and pointers so they would fly in fine point.
