A lot of parts (and other things) are increasing in price, partly due to the trade sanctions our government put on import of materials. FWIW I paid $275 per Stipe shock in 12/2014, so $35 increase in ~6 years. Last edited: Mar 24, 2020

Davew Senior Member Mar 25, 2020 #5 I have a set and would buy another if needed. Good product and good people to deal with.
M2M Well-known member Mar 29, 2020 #7 Well, you guys talked me into it...just received 2 new shocks from Stipe. Do I really have to paint them black??? Love the way they look unpainted

R Ruth Well-known member Mar 29, 2020 #8 I think I would paint them. Otherwise I think they will rust.

Joop Well-known member Mar 29, 2020 #15 . Looks like satin black. I think they dipped them in high gloss when new.
J jb-ob Well-known member Mar 29, 2020 #16 Nope, Sorry Joop. Most (all) movable or adjustable parts where sprayed with lacquer.
M2M Well-known member Mar 29, 2020 #17 What would guys say/think if you saw these shocks painted in wheel colour (apple green in my case) rather than black?

Werner Well-known member Mar 30, 2020 #20 Erich, I took a special satin black. Not deep black. A very little bit grey shadow; "eldered".
