Hello. I have a pair of rear shocks that have threaded bodies and I understand that they aren't permitted. However, my car's rear suspension design has the springs seperate from the shocks.

I believe they are 100% legal. What's more is I've seen a letter from a CB member who believes the same thing. Of course, neither means anything in the long run. What matters is what the court of appeals thinks.

I think the operative concept here is you would not be using threaded body coilovers which is what is forbidden. There is absolutely nothing in the ITCS that forbids threaded body dampers. Only threaded body coilovers.

I certainly intend to use theaded body dampers on the rear of my 944 (torsion bars).
