these are non adjustable, at least as far as i can tell, and are still good and functional. i just replaced them with koni adjustables while i was doing the fronts, so here they are for one of you to enjoy. they're dirty, so i can't tell what they are, or what the spring rates are, but i imagine they're most likely kyb gr-2s or the like, and it seems 275-300 pounds is typical for these cars. i forgot to take pics of them, but i'll go out and get some today after the sun comes up and post them up.

i'm asking $200 + shipping, but everything is negotiable, as long as you can give me a logical reason why that is too high. as in my other two threads, i will accept payment with the regular version of paypal instead of gift, and i'll eat the fee so that you feel safer as a buyer. i'm really glad i haven't had to deal with any fiero scammers yet, and i don't intend to turn myself into one either.

as always, if there are any questions or concerns, just post up here. since i'm unemployed, if i'm not sleeping, i check my email all day long, so i'll get back to you pretty promptly.

PICS TO COME IN A FEW HOURS. (for now, here are a couple of them just prior to removal.)

well so far, you're the only one that seems interested. i'll go ahead and get some better pictures and try to clean them up a bit. how much would you offer for them? they were on there for 10 years or so, i'm not even sure if they'll come off at this point. lol..

They are adjustable from looking at the sleeve/nut but will need to be cleaned up in order to move them with ease...Not a bad deal if the shocks where known good but a gamble at the asking price......

well they came off of my car, so i know they were good, just dirty. lol... even if i clean them up though, i'm not sure if that coilover sleeve is ever coming off of there.

i bought the car with them on, but they were WAY stiffer than the two 85s i've owned previously. i'll post up more pics here in a second when i get them uploaded, but after looking at the documentation, i'm not even sure the strut part is aftermarket, they may just be stock ones with sleeves on them. let me get these pics on photobucket and i'll post them up.

sorry, they were on my 88 formula. i'm not sure, but i don't think there are any differences?

ok, here's a better pic of the struts. not sure if you can see it in the pic, but on the one on the right, part of the threaded sleeve was chewed up by the spring. it shouldn't affect anything though, i doubt you'll ever want to set them that high.

for the documentation, i had to look almost all the way through this giant stack of papers to find it, and i'm still confused.



the confusion comes from this order form saying 350# springs:



but this tag i found on one of them says 325#.

and here are some more docs about them.

ok, here's the approximate prices to 17404:

usps parcel post - 23.13

ups ground - 29.20

the packaging may add a bit, but it should be negligible, so i'll just use those two figures, and if it's a bit more, i'll just eat the difference.
