Rear shocks.

Post by KG »

I need rear shocks. Reading through the posts from the past, it appears that the 520 Datsun front shocks will fit. Off to the parts store I went to see about that. The measurements posted in his parts computer looks like there is no way they will fit. Too short when extended by quite a bit. So.....VW front shocks. I haven't tried those, but they seem HUGE compared to the honda shocks.
So.. What shocks are available today?

A while back the question was asked about shocks for the Coupe or Sedan - the KYB GR2 shock Part no. 343143 for $30.00 each is a bolt on replacement.

Hello Kevin
Buy the shocks from Peter Rose in Engeland (they are on ebay) they are adjustable and i assure you that you drivability of your is getter much better even much better than you could immagion.
they are suppurb and adjustable.
(your back of your car is not "jumping" in corners, and when you have to pull at your stearingwheel because you have to react very fast due to an object on the road or a bad driver, your rear of the car is very stable and doesn't act nerves..
