Hey Guys, has anybody got an original chimaera front shock around? I'm doing a front suspension overhaul and having just shelled out a small fortune on arms and ball joints it turns out ive got a leaky shock. I dont think im going to be in the good books if i start talking about nitrons!

Hi,
I have just bought a set of 4 shockers - the fronts are the earlier ones, slightly longer between hole centres (they have red springs if that is any use)
anyway, drop me a line if you're interested.
Cheers
Tom

Hi,
Not sure whats going on with my emails then,
Sure you can have one.... I bought 4, but only needed the rears, and the fronts are unsuitable for my car.
My email is tom _ loughlin @ hotmail . com (without the spaces)

If you email me, I will email you a pic with dims.
Tom

Anybody else able to help with this?, I'm obviously happy to pay but really can't afford to fork out for a new set of shocks atm.

Cheers
