Hi, has anyone got any ideas where I can find an online listing of shock absorbers by dimensions. The only one I can find is this KYB one which would be absolutely perfect except it's a US one so all the vehicles it refers to are US models which makes identifying potential donor vehicles that are readily available in the UK somewhat difficult. Surely this can't be the only one online? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a picture to say thanks  |

Superb Robin, you're a star  (how come that doesn't show up up in the first 8 pages when you search shock absorber dimensions?) |

Cheers Bozwell, that's handy to know, bit rich for me though. Spent last night going through that Monroe listing identifying possibles and this afternoon a visit to the breakers, a lucky break finding the shocks on the car I wanted and not depolluted (drilled and drained), an hour or so making some top mount parts and hey presto, a car that's 5 inches lower than stock with enough rear shock travel to go down another 2.5 inches  Nice and firm too. |
