Progressive Suspension 465-5013B Rear Shock

[Whooshka]

Anybody using it? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one with the remote preload, but not sure if it's a big enough improvement over the stocker to make it worth it. I'm pretty sure it would be, my stock shock has 65K on it. I'm assuming it's the original. It works OK but it's one of those things that degrade so slowly you don't know how worn it is until you put a new one in.

And does it's cheaper price make it far inferior to big buck shocks like a Penske? Opinions please...

I thought I had found a good deal on it for under $600, with the remote pre load adjuster, but when I inquired about the spring rate I was told it wasn't available and they would take down the listing. 3 days later it's still there.

revived: I just picked up a used 465-5013B only to find out Progressive doesn't service nor carry replacement parts for it. Anyone know of a cut sheet with component dimensions or am I lucky enough the seals are the same as OEM??
