They are FANTASTIC - smooth out all the bumps when taxiing and make the landings softer as well. I can now get into some grass strips that were previously unacceptable due to the rough surface. The manufacturer has priced them at NZ$800.00 per side (this equates to about US$430 on today's exchange rate) - this will be plus freight. The total cost therefor will be about $900.00 delivered to the US or Canada etc. The manufacturer needs a minimum of 10 pairs to meet the above price and requires a deposit on order of 25%. The Shocks incorporate KONI oleos with coil springs and are a bolt in replacement for the existing units. I will take some photos and attach them to a subsequent notice. I look forward to hearing from those interested. Cheers John Spry
