Double thin nuts? nyloc half nuts? who sells that?

Go for the BGM shocker, not only do they look good but there very easy to set up right, and most importantly if anything goes wrong its easily sorted out, used alot of these and had no problems on the later ones but had two that leaked when they first came out.

right!!! so its a bgm shock with two double thin nuts and half nylock then

NO a Hagon or an escorts GVFM

I've got stainless nyloc half nut kits if anyone's interested?

Thanx, I can be interested.

Interesting, I have brass bushes fitted to mine, supplied by Foxy, mine are done up tight, but the shock pivots freely around the bushes. Has done for years. Is this bad?

BTW. I don't think there's much wrong with the good old Escort. Unless they start to leak that is.

Not good as this makes the shock rigid from side to side as the engine flexes on the engine mounts. This can result in a broken shock.
