GYT-R® Ohlins® Front Shocks
These racing shocks are among the highest quality, premium gas shock absorbers available in the market. They feature adjustable spring preload and compression damping to fine-tune handling. The remote piggyback reservoir allows increased oil capacity to minimize shock fading. They also feature a shaft seal specially designed for snowmobile use – the special seal scrapes the ice of the shaft to prevent ice from entering the shock and diluting the oil. Sold individually.
Requires Adjuster Key (8DE-23703-00-00).
Fits ’98 SRX 700

thet're the same. Will sit any srx '98 - '02
8DW is the vin code used by yamaha for the ohlins package. same from 98 and up. more prevalent option on the 99's and newer as the 98 started the srx craze and the pre-sales werent as many as subsequent years.
still interested in your take offs once you bolt those ohlins right in.

Okay Snowdad should get to it in a couple days then sending them off for rebuild..I want to get the springs powdercoated..can I just take them off and send them for powdercoat while I have the Ohlins rebuilt?
Also..any recommendations on a rebuilder?

springs come off easily. powder coating would look good. i have had descent luck with spray paint as well. its all in the prep.
try bruce at pioneer performance for the rebuild.
