I stumbled upon a complete competition suspension a few years ago and am finally getting around to the install. I didn't realize it at the time but when I pulled the springs off the rear struts and pulled the shocks they were the original oil filled type. The oil escaped before I realized what was happening. D'oh! My dilemma: rebuild the shocks, replace with aftermarket Koni or Tokico, or sell the whole shootin match. I was going to put these on my V8 project but am now thinging about comfort. How much oil do they take and what kind?

If they're in decent shape I'd try them out first.

Thanks for the link. I'll try motorcycle shock oil.

I remember that the original oil had a fish smell to it (and was 10-20 weight). For aggressive street cars we would put 40 or 50 weight into it. Race cars got 90.
