      Wow, really? 800 each. I bought some shockwaves for 800 a pair and thats with an air spring and double adjustable shocks. They look surprising close to varishocks too so I wouldnt be surprised if they were.

      I just couldnt imagine paying 3200 buck for a set of shocks. Really?? Anyone paying that much here?? Where is that money tree, I am gonna change jobs from being retired to a gardener JR

      Penske motorcycle shocks are $1200-1600 each. They do come with a spring.

      Yes, they contain essentially the same parts as a $10 pep boy shock, but are 4 way adjustable (adjustable for low speed, high speed (shock speeed, speed of linear compression and extension) dampening in jounce and rebound)

      But where the $10 shock is put to gether by a piece of automated assembly equipment in a dark greasy factory from whatever parts the previous machine spat out, the Penske is assembled by nubile beauties to custom specification (yours) from precision parts fabricated to close tolerances in well lit clean rooms accented with the light aroma of smoldering incense.

      Or something like that

      As far as I know, they are Varishocks as of this moment. I've been told they're varishock components that ridetech builds and dynos in house. It doesn't really matter in regards to the rebound/compression/both discussion, but I figured I would let you know.
