Well I do... and they are in god awful condition.
Anyways, if you still have originals, sound off, state their condition if you please, and your mileage and year. Sounds like alot but Ill give my example.
I have original shocks... they are nearly gone, rusted away. I have a '00 with 136,000 miles

I did til a couple weeks ago. I bought her with 44K on her in 2002 and she now has 138K. Surprisingly they werent that bad. They had a lot of rust on them, but they still had some rebound in them. Shocker considering I drive the Golden Road almost daily.

I swapped them out last month when I went down to OBX. They were so rusted on my 91 with 125K. I didn't even break any of those stupid upper rear shock bolts, but I did spray them like crazy with liquid wrench for 3 days.
