Did you ever find front shocks, Richard? I'm renewing all the bushings on my front suspension and would like to replace the shocks (80K on the odometer, so they are definately compromised), but am convinced they are unobtanium.

I think Scott what you need to do is just take off your shocks and match them to something similar in regards to length and size being the same as well as the distance it travels. No doubt you can find more than one but it will take some due diligence at parts stores to get a match.
Lotus rarely had special parts made when they could buy a part already used by someone else. Like their dash switches, door handles and tail lights, all came from other makes. I think I would get a Koni or another adjustable shock you can trim to your liking. Monroe makes a lot of them to so you should be ok doing that.
And yeah, 80k would seem to me to be a good time to change them out.
cheers,
Richard
