Besides that,I've yet to see a new repro set fullfil it's duties beyond a few 100 miles of normal street useage.
They were recently re-manufactured for their appearance for the trailered/show cars,so their internals are cheaper and their oil less plentiful.

I'm curious, have you physically drained the oil from one of these new repro shocks and compared it to an original? Granted, they aren't gonna ride/drive like a new set of gas charged Ranchos, but surely GM wouldn't license a shock that they know folks are gonna drive on but is "just for shows"...I can't see GM's lawyers taking on that kind of liability?
