    I wonder if anyone ever bought a new set of four VX shocks from Isuzu? At those prices, there must be a ton of 'em collecting dust in the Isuzu parts warehouse.

    Maybe they figure if they charge that much no one will order them and they do not have to stock them

    Well, there is just about 15 minutes left on the eBay site for bidding. Things should get really interesting in the last few seconds in the bidding war.

    Wow, $610 for the pair (1-front + 1-rear) was the final tally.

    I'd like to get in line to by someone's factory worn out ones...

    My VX came with Ranchos that were gone, and I only had 47,000 miles... so that means there are some stock ones kicking around that have very low miles. The Adjustable Ranchos I had suuuuucked... when I removed them they wouldn't even extend on their own.

    I replaced with Bilsteins, I like them, but I'd love some factory KYBs... even if I did have to have them rebuilt.

    I sold my rear OEM shocks to biju. I don't know if he sold them when he got rid of the VX. Wouldn't hurt to contact him tho.

    t4b, I bought the rear shocks off of biju when he sold his VX (didn't know that they where yours).
    Sorry tR.

    True. My diff brackets are on an Astral. My hood insert will be on a Dragon (if I ever get off my arse & fix it).

    "Actually the shocks are on a shelf in the garage waiting for their turn on the fastest color...."

    Goes so fast that light can't catch up to it???
