Dont get me started on that ****...haha Ill probably get a set.... for the price, the only other option is Monroes and surely DeCarbons are better than those...

Used and DeCarbons shouldn't go together when buying. My car has currently 62k on it, and stock decarbons are junk. The guy may be telling the truth, but I wouldnt want to spend 60 bucks and do the install to find out they're shot...

Any decarbons are JUNK!

That's what I'm doing until I can buy some decent shocks. Personally I just wouldn't want the time or money into crappy used shocks

FWIW OP, a member on here gave me his old aftermarket shocks when he upgraded to konis and they are alot better than stock shocks. My old ones were bottoming out and not doing a dang thing and these at least work. I still am going to get a decent set up but i would say 50-60 bucks well spent vs riding decarbons.

That's fair logic if you are on a budget, but the "old new stock" parts you are looking at are at least 10 years old at this point. Any rubber seals in the shocks could be deteriorated due to age. So, those older DeCarbons may not last you very long.

I bought a set of take off shocks, springs, wheels and tires from SLP for a little over $500 in 2002. I figured that was better than spending $225 a piece for replacement Goodyear tires. I still have the springs, Delphi shocks, and the painted wheels.

There's a VERY STRONG possibility that the DeCarbons are indeed 5 mile "take offs", from back in the mid-late '90s, when SLP was doing the Z-28 SS and Firehawk program cars for GM. The cars came off the assembly line as completed cars, then shipped to SLP's shop for the conversion. removed parts were considerd "used" and couldn't simply go back to the GM plant for use on other cars coming down the line.

Cold air hoods were standard, Bilsteins were an option, as were SLP's headers, Hurst shifters, and Auburn posi units. ALL of these "take off" parts were sold off directly to the public by SLP. I even bought a set of the DeCarbon "take offs" for future use on my car, before I realized how crappy they were, and put Bilsteins on instead. I wound up selling off my "take off DeCarbons" to someone who wasn't an enthusiast, and was on a really tight budget.

I wouldn't do it, but to each his own. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to put cheap stuff on my car, but that's just me. I'd likely be replacing those within a year
