Re: Gas Shock Legality?

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I think you are discussing gas-filled springs or struts, not shocks. Shock absorbers rely on springs to support the mechanism to which they are attached, and the gas charging reduces foaming of the hydraulic fluid. Gas springs or struts rely on compressed gas to provide force, as in the struts that help support the weight of a hatchback on a car. Even if the GDC allows "gas shocks" that really isn't the same thing as a gas spring.
