Nope -- they are pretty dead (stock is the word, I think :)

Being replaced by Boge (unknown type) and Hor (no comments from the peanut
gallery, please, the whole set was cheap; I'll get H&R later)

Where exactly? There doesn't seem to be a lot of room to cut through (this
is on an '86 8V). I don't want to damage the housing it bolts into; the
shock itself is worthless, so cutting through the outer sleeve would be
fine, if not a bit excessive (except that it would work, of course).
