Default High Performance Gas Shocks for RX

Is anyone here interested in some high performance gas shocks for the RX?

These would have slightly firmer than stock damping, but not enough to cause a harsh ride. Stock shocks are pretty worn out by 30 or 40,000 miles anyways, and these would last considerably longer than any OEM shock would.

Pricing would be reasonable, just checking to see if there is any interest in something like this...

If anyone is interested, please post here. If there is enough interest, we could possibly get this going into reality.

Some other suspension components are already in development for the RX due to the interest on this forum, so please speak up if you are interested. Make sure to post your year and 2WD or 4WD as well.

Thanks!

Are there any elevation limits?

A lot of people here in Mexico City (8,000 feet) like to do offroading at the 12,000 foot level in the mountains, but the shocks do not hold up. I am sure some of these are gas.
