Roadstar shocks are shock absorbers rebuilt in West Sacramento by a company
called Roadstar-Nelson. Their specialty is lever-action shocks such as those
used on the MG T, MGA and MGB. and MG Midget. They do not do TC or early TD
Girling shocks, only the Armstrongs.
Prices are around $99.95 for fronts, $79.95 for rears. They are done only on
an exchange basis, except for MGB shocks for which there is, apparently, no
shortage of cores.
Roadstar -to the best of my knowledge - will deal only with trade customers
so individuals have to deal either through their local specialist or a
distributor such as my company, Skip Kelsey or Ed Kahler of JustBrits.
