I can get you a new YSS shock, probably the cheapest after market shock available..

Can do one for £265 delivered for you, need to order it in though so may take a week or two.

I'm weighing up my shock options at the moment too if anyone wants to answer the questions?

I would kinda like a hydraulic preload adjuster, I'm guessing my best options are new and correctly sprung from Maxton/Nitron/Hagon... Just don't want to be spending over £300 really, which is asking a lot, I know.

You won't get a shock with hydraulic preload for £300, they tend to charge £150-£170 for the adjuster alone.. Access to preload is pretty good on a storm so although a nice touch the hydraulic adjuster isn't that important.


As I said earlier I can get YSS but you get the spring it comes with, cheapest option though.

Maxton will cost approx £450 upwards built perfectly for you.

Nitron ask your weight and are about £400 or just under for the base shock.

after receiving the shock off mac, I sprayed the spring and then proceeded to fit it this afternoon.
and guess what happened





















yes you guessed it, the linkage bearings are shot to bits
so no trying the new shock
