Hi

Is someone able to please tell me whether these are real or fake Works Performance Shocks? I have seen many shocks of the same model with a valve for damper adjusting, but these dont seem to have it. Any advice helps.

Thanks.

They look like they come from the 80s. Works came from same idea as S&W, usually with dual springs. These will likely be in need of rebuilding if they are indeed saveable. So apart from that, why would the spring or damping rates , or even the length be what you want?

The only people faking it back in the 80's were Milli Vanili and Meg Ryan

Race Tech can rebuild them with gold valves so KIWI or whatever Robert Taylors place is called can likely rebuild them.

I have no affiliation with the above person.

But I will confirm Live at Budikon Cheap Trick was almost certainly lip synced.

The dream Police

The dream police
They live inside of my head
The dream police
They come to me in my bed
The dream police
They're coming to arrest me
Oh no

You know that talk is cheap
And those rumors ain't nice
And when I fall asleep
I don't think I'll survive

The night
The night

Cause they're waiting for me
Looking for me
Every single night
They're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

The dream police
They live inside of my head
(live inside of my head)
The dream police
They come to me in my bed
(come to me in my bed)
The dream police
They're coming to arrest me
Oh no
