Gents,

Chris Kogan (Kogan the Barbarian) is now the owner of all 4 (My 3 and Howard's one).

This leaves Howard and I with 4 leaky UGLY Spax shocks.

Are they rebuildable?

My understanding is that Yes they are rebuildable, but not sure, where or how much.

Go to the list of US Spax dealers for one near you.
He'll be able to tell you.
And I think that they are a very nice colour, apart from doing an excellent job of keeping the wheels on the road!

Fred, Do you have the 4th leaker at your house? I have only 3 here. We should get them all together at one place at least.

These shocks, when they work, are fine for a street car. Bud still uses his for track days, and very well thank you.

The springs on our leakers are about 200 lb springs. As a comparsion. I have 450s on the rear and 350 up front, drive the car on the street and love the way it feels.

So.... If you could rebuild them it would be a matter of cost. I personally would not spend more than 40-50 dollars each to rebuild them. Of course I understand buget's and trying to just get the car on the road at first. These shocks would fine in that context.

I'll get them all together, take a picture, and offer them for sale. More latter.

Hi Howard,

I met the importer of Spax in Belgium and he told mew ones for the GTD40 would be arround 85 Euro.
Since I only need the 2 front ones, I will probably go for new ones to be sure.
