Rear Shocks
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.
A bit stiff, but it is the correct length and width.

Re: Rear Shocks
Hi Bill,
As you may recall the rear end of my Coupe sits about 2 inches higher than it ought to. Is it possible that the shocks are the issue? How can I tell if I have original or aftermarket shocks?
Thanks, Steve
