Re: apple shocks
Years ago when I was working on a lot of MGs I tried Apple for their lever shocks--1 month the first failed, 1 month to replace it,(car stuck apart) one month later the other shock failed, 2 month later the replacement shock arrived, it broke the next day---- 2 new shocks were ordered
Perhaps they are better now, but I won't try again |

But, I have not had them do anything for years maybe decades. I think the last lever shocks they did for me were $120. Maybe their workmanship has changed, don't know. |

Re: apple shocks
I agree with Mitch and Mike. For $24 more, you can have brand new ones in your hands within 3 days from Snyder's! And these are not the factory sealed ones, these are the refillable ones!
