Default Does anybody know what kind of shocks these are?

Does anybody know if these are stock shocks or are they aftermarket? These came in a 97' Hatch I bought. I just need to know in case I need to replace one I know what to buy. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

They are covered up by the coil over kit. There is absolutely no markings to be seen anywhere because of it.

How do you expect people to magically know what shocks they are?

The could be stock, but then again, they could be some ebay knock off shock.

Until you rip them open (take the coil over kit off) and get some markings/serial numbers off of them, you won't know if they are stock of after market shocks.

Simply, what I see in the pictures is some shocks.... They are black. That is all.

And even with numbers from the shock, might not prove fruitful to find the brand.

You best bet is to just replace them with some quality shocks that you want so you know brand and type.

I think he meant the ball joint...maybe.

Also, OP, to answer your question, they're black. Black shocks. That's about all we can tell you.

Well, actually, black shocks with some white print numbers.

Those are on the sleeves though, they might not actually be part of the shock itself

If the person who told you that they were aftermarket you probably got played, they "look" stock as hell

No actually they didn't tell me they were aftermarket, but I have no clue what stock ones look like and that was the reason for the question. I will be changing these out for skunk 2 adjustables in the near future anyways. And I did order some replacement bushings as soon as I took the wheel off to inspect vehicle lol I noticed they were "a little worn" thanks for the heads up.

Ah yes, Junk2. Everyone always flocks to them without doing any research.

Do yourself a favor, and check the FAQ sticky. There's an extensive write-up on good suspension setups based on budget brackets.

They look like the cheapest OE replacement shocks money can buy.
