"......shock dampers from Reiger Racing (NL).

I want to get a set of these shocks for my 360, so I wrote them a letter
back in December asking for price information and how to go about ordering
a set. They have not answered yet (I gave them my address, email, phone,
and fax). Has anyone else tried contacting them?

I saw a set of these shocks at Lancair this last summer at the fly-in. Orin
had them in his office. He told me they were thinking about offering them
in the catalog, but he thought they would be too expensive. They are very
heavy, but I think they are worth the extra weight.

I checked into the US customs charge we could be expected to pay. If we
have Normal Trade Relations (NTR) with Holland, it would be 2.5%. I assume
we have NTR with Holland. Does anyone know for sure?

Colin, could you tell us about how much these shocks cost per set? Also, do
you have an estimate of how long they can be expected to last, and do they
require periodic servicing -- I assume the seals eventually have to be
replaced in the damper.
