well oe equipment would be oil shockers iirc, but you can buy the gas shockers as a suitable replacement. ive got kayaba shocks on mine and they do the job.

As far as I was aware all dampers use oil but some are oil under gas pressure (gas dampers?). Oil under pressure of gas means that the oil stays good (I could be talking b0110cks though)?
