Quick question
Johnny rochester posted a few pages back compressed and extended length of ae86 shocks
is this the same length as ke70 shocks?
because if it is RA60 ones are sounding nice for the rear of my 70,
also when you say early holden, do you mean VB, VC ? and such?

btw this question was directed at anyone and everyone, in case someone else can answer for him haha
just curious, what sort of droop do the seirra shocks allow? i had commonwhore shocks in mine for a while and took them out because it only allowed about 1.5 inches of droop and kept bottoming out the shocks (not good). if the springs have to be compressed with the seirra's i can't imagine that you would have any droop at all. is this right?
fuck all. they are really a little bit too short.

^^Exactly, you will need to compress them about an inch so that they run preload to get them in, hence no droop!
But fuck they ride well with 6kg rears, going to try some KYB excel g sierras soon to see what they are like.

but u need 2-3 inches of droop from static height for your suspension to work properly
if not u end up with fucked shocks and a car that handles like crap, i went thru the whole saga 12mths ago
^^I thought that was the case, so unless the car is bullshit low (read: too low) then there will be no droop and the shocks will top out constantly and fuck out, sorted.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (grape_moosha @ Mar 27 2008, 02:53 AM) </div>yeah VB shock are good to use, used them in a ma61 supra but they where a little short for that, good length for corolla though which take shorter shocks. later model (90's) use shorter shocks, i heard of someone mention vt wagon? also the old old holdens (HQ? or around that era) shocks fit as well, take a measurement of your stock shock at the normal sitting hight, or make a mark on the body where its compressed, take it out, measure it compressing to that mark then add how much you want it to travel. a softer spring will want to travel more than a hard one. go into supercheap and compare it to what they have on the shelf, you will soon figure out what will suit you best, even if you go for a better brand at another store you will know what model you want, don't be afraid to open a few box's they wont mind usually as long as you put them back.
How does this sound EF falcon springs with HK-HT Monaro shocks i wil lbe cutting the springs 2 around 260mm free height will they be captive if not what do u recommend cutting the falcon springs 2
cheers
