I'm looking to adapt some short shocks on for the back of my Merc w115. I have airbags that take up the room of the original shock thru coil setup. I have been told fiat 500 (new) shocks work, i'm just afraid they're rating might be too soft for such a heavier car. Any ideas? The closed length should be about 25cm and ideally have 2 regular round bush mounts

Air suspension seems to require less damping than springs - we used some (IIRC) Sunbeam Rapier rear shocks on the front of my pals T25 when we fitted bags, and it drives great!
Citroen Saxo/ Pug 106 rear shocks are (off the top of my head) the right dimensions for what you want, with two normal bushes either end. You should be able to pick up some adjustable ones fairly cheap.

306/xsara similar to the 106 but far more manly, can get many uprated ones, may even be a bit firm as they work on a 2.5-1 ish wheel to damper rate.
I know they are around 320mm open length, maybe 100mm travel

i would give GAZ shocks a call they can tailor to your requirements and are pretty cheap
they quoted £85 a corner for shorter ones for my e30 fully adjustable

Anyone know where I can get shortened shocks for my mk2 Orion. I’m dropping by 60mm and need different shocks
