You are mistaken, my 2004 Coupe originals were skyhook, according to local Maserati dealership skyhook shocks are no longer made and to replace the old skyhook shocks these standard 200241's can and should be used.
If you need to stay with skyhook, there are used one for sale and replacing a used skyhook with another improves not much, unless your old used skyhook is broken.
So if you want new shocks, standards like these are in and skyhooks are out.
DO CHECK WITH MASERATI DEALERSHIP.
No, the dealership indicated prices and part numbers for 4200 Coupe shocks, and indicated that the $1400 plus priced skyhooks are no longer made. These are not skyhooks as most know skyhooks are not YELLOW and standards are ( also part numbers are different).
As for "It is worth noting " The new standard shocks do sell for a bit over $400 each.
Generally no shocks last 20 years and if it does , it does not perform good, so if a skyhook fan wants to ride on the old shocks
that is his problem.
Perhaps a little lost in translation here?
@k1coupe is saying that Skyhook shocks are NLA(!!!!) They have put these up for sale as an alternative for swapping to coil overs or rebuilding skyhook shocks... If you have skyhook then all 4x struts will need to be changed and the car will need to either go to the dealership for the sports suspension to be turned off or you will need the resistor that plugs into the skyhook strut connectors to fool the system into thinking that they are still there to avoid a skyhook error light on the dash
If we cannot get hold of new skyhook struts then this will be an impending problem for everyone as stated above, they don't last for 20 years on a 1.8t car.
Forks sake...Has Mr. Spoons been reincarnated?
Shameless really....!Typical Maserati that you have to buy the bushes separately.
