shocks on 2000 cup car?
Who knows if the shocks are adjustable on a 2000 cup car?

Jim: Hopefully someone with a Cup car will chime in to verify but I think the adjustable shocks were introduced on the '03 Cup cars.

The first year that the GT3 Cup had Sachs adjustable shocks was 2003.

I would be surprised to find a '00 Cup car with original equipment that hadn't been replaced/upgraded.

The OEM Sachs GT3 Cup shocks are adjustable for both bump and rebound. Rebound is adjusted at the top end of the shaft and bump is adjusted at the reservoir.

not a GT3, so if there is no reservoir or adjustment at the top like a KONI, then I assume there is no adjustment?

Correct, no adjustment if they're stock shocks.
