B4 FT Shock bodies

[Chris Elworthy]

I bought a B4 FT a while back and have been running it since with relative success. Recently upon inspection of other drivers cars it seems apparent that my shock bodies appear to be different. They are still threaded units that came with the brand new B4 kit yet mine appear to be a dark, brownish almost greeny colour whereas everybody elses ive seen appear to be a very light silver. The shock work well enough I was just wondering if anybody else had these ( maybe the kit is from an old batch for example) or are these the replacement shock bodies that will superceed the silver ones and are being included in the kits


Cheers

My shocks are the same i knowsomeone who bought there car about a week i bought mine and his are the light colour and mine are the dark colour. I still havent found an exsplanation. But it doesnt effect the shocks at all.

Cheers lads, Maybe they are the replacements for the light coloured ones as I said, Ive no idea why they would though if they are exactly the same, I do in a way wish I had the silver ones though they just look better.

The darker ones are better. they have a thicker anodizing which lasts longer. some people just get lucky.

Cheers Spence I was quite pleased with that one eventhough i feel a bit lucky as the the round by round qualifying definately worked in my favour when it started to rain. nevertheless The 4th in round one was well earned so im well happy with the result. So happy infact in persurveering with the B4 instead of getting an X-6. See you at Bury on Sunday if you are going?
