Another member on Cliotrophy spoke to the guy selling these last week and has posted this :

anyone bidding on the trophy shocks on e bay be careful....i e-mailed the guy last week when he first started listing parts asking about the shocks,any damage etc...

I got a reply saying that the drivers side were bent but the other side was ok... now all 4 on e bay described as in good condition?

Just thought i'd share on here with anyone who might be interested - although i'd suspect that most people would have the common sense to get them checked out before paying their hard-earned for them!

no worries..... definitely worth getting checked before spending your hard earned on them imo if the above is true

i'd love to see the picture of the whole car to see the extent of the damage.... looking at the picture from the rear the exhaust pipes seem to stick out further than a normal 182 as well.....

I'm not surprised one's bent with how stiff they are :S lol

could be a bluff so less people bid!

my dads the current high bidder though...

car must have been in a hard front end crash, theres no pics of the front in any of the items that iv seen on ebay,

I asked the seller before they were posted up on ebay, and he/she said that one was bent.lol.

edit: just read the rest of the thread.......you have been warned.

i do wonder if my threads are part of the reason 328 is still sat on sale......

If you want to take a guess on which one is bent i reckon N/S/F check out sellers other items and the the trophy wing mirror and look at the front wheel. but then look at the suspension turret in the engine complete pic
