I e-mailed Fournales and got the following response. I still don't have any solid information about the function of these shocks, but they appear to be high quality, and I thought someone on the list had = been impressed with their performance. The White Brothers site made no reference to them in their 'street' catalog. The price quoted by = Fournales below converts to about $980 for BOTH front and rear, before shipping. <snip> I have also contacted Works Performance about their OEM shock rebuilding services. They will replace the guts of many stock shocks, giving them a new lease on life, for a resonable price. Sandy at Works Performance said he thought that they could not rebuild the stock GTS shocks, but mailed me some information about how to identify if my shock is rebuildable. I cannot retreive the needed specs at a glance, so as I'm doing maintinence this winter perhaps I can get some photos of the GTS shocks to send to Works and get a final verdict. Ironically, I'm feeling pretty poor right now and certainly could not afford any of the above suspension upgrades, but it's nice to know what's available. -Derek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
