    4th gen rear shocks: possible need for Cresson

    I've been trying to work w/ a TX based shop to get some rear shocks on the #95.
    Time is running short and I'm begging to doubt they'll deliver in time (zero follow up on their part).
    I called UnbalancedE and J.S. didn't think he'd have a set available in time.
    The shocks I pulled off my car are trashed. done.
    Just floating it out there to see if anyone has a set of usable rears to lend/lease for the weekend at MSR-C. I generally run 225's or 250's out back.
    I see a few, *cough*, OE type shocks on rockauto for $20 and under... would those even work for the weekend w/ such high rates vs stock?.... They'd have to be better than what I'm left with now.

    Have you tried HVT in Plano? They did a 9 day turn on my rear shocks.

    I talked to them early on. they basically told me "we can get our engineering intern to look at a spread sheet and build some shocks for you". not exactly the response i was looking for.

    i had some koni DA's on the car for way too long.

    I worked directly with Brian and John. Gave them corner weights as well as spring rates.
