Very cool to see new parts being made for these cars still.

I'm subscribing, too. I have possibly failing air springs and am tire-kicking replacements. But while I'm here, I also have a possibly failing compressor vent solenoid. Any word on when you will have more compressors back in stock?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Just wondering if these are still in the works? I have developed a leak and will be looking for a replacement.

I seen the same ones selling somewhere else. I'll have to find it again but I found them online when I was buying the Motorcraft air shocks.

Motorcraft last around 15 years and some even longer but keep in mind, these 15 year Motorcraft were "to many", just another suspension part under the car and the rubber was never conditioned. I just don't see that Firestone molded rubber lasting that long in that design and $923 minus shipping is a bit too much. I don't know where you're getting the $60 more either. Might just be me but I prefer to get something that has proven itself.

$601+ shipping vs. $923+ shipping and not knowing anything about them.
Gotta find those deals out there. I bought from these people and their air shocks were made in 2010

$556.14 and free shipping for both. Can't beat that.
Then the deal on something that nobody knows nothing about. How does it ride? How many years will it last? etc...

I promise, the ones from eBay are brand new and sealed in the Motorcraft box.
No need in paying that high price and shipping.
Really I paid $720 total but then I found some of these other better prices but the one from eBay was made in 2010 and the other one I got from Tasca was a 2008

Jump on one of those deals thaywood. They will not be there long for that price. Ask me how I know. I was glad to see they didn't call them struts either. That price is hard to beat and it might pop up again or it might not but I noticed something in the past couple of months. I think they are all running out of them and some are trying to get high dollar and the others are competing for business on ebay. Well, needless to say who won my business on the set being stashed. They don't have many at all. When they're gone, they're gone.

Who wants to be the guinea pig to modify these to make them work on our Marks?...maybe drill and tapping the top mounting plate, cutting that square plate, and drilling the lower mounting bracket hole bigger?

I talked to ride tech 2 years ago about using there stuff on a mark
He said they would need the dimensions of the shock travel
Then i would make the adapter to go to the tower and lower control arm
Thats when i thought I was making enough money not to live pay check to pay check.

If the shock travel on the dodge charger is more than our marks then that should be ruled out leaving that sockwave unit I posted usable right?...anyone knows the shock travel on both cars?
