Many squirrelly Sprites are made tight with new front shocks. Bounce your front fender and if damping is lacking, you need new shocks. Shocks should be changed in pairs, and you'll need new shock bushings, too! (You may end up needing the front shock bolts as well!)

This set of front shocks offers an economical option to replace leaking or bad lever shocks. We also offer a premium version, available here, and an uprated "Lemans" version, available here.

We have two shipping options available for your lever shocks. You can choose to ship us your cores first and avoid being charged the core charge. We MUST receive your shock cores in rebuildable condition prior to shipping your new shocks if you select this option. A "core" shock is defined as the old shock removed from the car with the upper front trunnion and bolt removed. The clinching bolt for the trunnion must remain present, and the arm must be intact and cannot be bent.

We can also ship from our stock immediately and you don't have to send us your cores until you receive the new ones. This option will incur a $160 core deposit (per pair, $80 per shock), refunded upon receipt of your rebuildable shock cores. We MUST receive your shock cores in rebuildable condition in order to receive your core refund. 

Postage is not included, so core return shipping and packing will be at your expense.

CORE NOTE: There will be a deduction from your core refund if any of the following effect rebuild-ability: missing/broken/damaged valves, covers, arms, and clinch bolts. Also if the unit is seized, cracked or has oversized mounting holes. 

You should also consider replacing the shock buffers while you're there!

Here is an example of a bounce test, if your Bugeye does this, you need shocks!
