these are entry-level medium quality MDI shocks, made of steel, of Taiwanese origin.
approximately equivalent to the lowest quality Progressive Suspension units.
I don't think rebuild kits are available, my guess is that they are intended
to be disposable after they wear out, just like the stock units on most japanese cruiser bikes.
If you want super high quality and rebuidability, these are not a good option for you.
These only have good looks and reasonable price and decent quality going for them.
