Must have part! Works perfectly. I recommend to anyone with/or looking to get a d413. Thanks HB.
Very nice quality and value compared to other option. My d216 came with these in the box. I wasn't expecting that, but a spare is always good.
Finally they are in stock! These shock caps are a must buy. The front stock caps broke on the first time running my D413 so I have been waiting forever. Since I got them, my car has run flawlessly. If you are buying a D413 kit just cough up the extra money for them you wont be disappointed.
These are hard to get your hands on, I picked up a full set on Ebay. These are a very nice and functional addition to your D413.
First upgrade you should get, I run them just on the front shocks. I find the stock rear caps never come off like the fronts do.
Reviewers largely praise the aluminum shock caps as a useful upgrade for the D413 and say they fit more easily than the stock caps, with the stock front caps noted as breaking or coming off in use. Several reviewers mention the caps help prevent DNFs and that the product was hard to obtain. Two one-star reviews focus on long back-order delays, with shipping dates in April, May, June and July 2015, rather than on the part's performance. One reviewer notes the caps came in the box with a D216 kit. Reviews are mostly positive on quality and function, but availability is a recurring complaint.
