Default help identifying JRZ shocks please

hey guys - can anyone tell me which of the JRZ's these are?

I'm told they're the cup 2 way adjustables but can't see any markings in the photo and they're not accessible atm.
From the JRZ website there seems to be the PROs, the PRO Race and the 2 ways but can't see the difference.
JRZ also hasn't been answering the phone Friday.

Does anyone know first hand? Also are they missing anything ...helpers or mounting plates?
TIA!!

@ HiWind those are single adjustable RS-Race 996 or 7 cup shocks...... On the rear shock If they are 470mm +- they are 997... 455mm+- they are 996 (overall length).. not interchangeable between the two as that would manifest itself in droop/compression over the curbs

RS-Pro is the cheaper street version with the blue anodizing and the red anodizing is the good stuff

Those appear to be single adjustable..... are you sure that there isn't a rebound adjuster at the top of the shock? (above the jam nuts holding it in its a little 8mm brass nut).... should have 15 clicks of rebound.... and compression is fixed. Divider piston is in the bottom of the shock for the air chamber.

@ 32k Should be the same with the 8mm brass nut on the top..... Clicking it clockwise will be softer and counter-clockwise is stiffer. If I remember correctly that set should have 15 clicks. Remember its single adjustable so you are only adjusting rebound....

@ Francois i am still searching but havent seen anything yet..... I do have 2 sets of 997's here that I am trying to sell at very fair prices. Let me see how much it would cost to convert the rears to the 996 cups and I will get back to you about it..

Also prefer the new, larger diameter shafts if possible. Can't hurt to ask, can it

The shaft would be expensive as everything internal needs replacing but all very possible as well as the new canisters! I will email you as there is a lot of cool stuff available for upgrades this year!
