    ive got chevy nomad shocks in mine, they are actually the same part number as commodore shocks, not sure which type though.

    they are quite stiff with the orange springs i have installed and there is fuck all travel

    its the old VB to VR live axle shox that work, IRS VS and onwards have the metal bush through them.

    the earlier models VB, VC, VH (maybe VL) that have the short stroke deal happening. the chassis changed from VN onwards so i'm not sure how different they are.

    I might sound like a dum arse but I'm going to ask this any way,

    Could people please post not only what the shox are from but also from where, ie. front or rear of the donor car, for both shox and springs,

    sierra/front...OK

    The question of how much to cut off the AU springs came up but was un answered.

    And what are the cheaper front set ups out there that work well ei. 7-8kg

    Not having a bitch just want more info on top of the mountain of info already layed out in this thread.

    Cheers guys love the work

    Finally got around to putting my suspension gear in, including the 343113 kyb shocks (rear vb-vr wagon lowered)


    bolt straight in and work a treat, hold my ahhmm 'shortened' lovell springs in perfect


    they rated better than the normal monaros and have the same physical dimensions! if your not going for crazy low sierra shocks these as far as i can find are the next best thing !
