hi guys
was wondering what a good alternative to which shocks fit in the rears of the sprinter, mine are worn..
how much would it cost to re-sleeve (rebuild) them?
even though its not worth it..
but what about re-sleeving aftermarket shocks that are worn?
i have temperarily used some KYB shocks that were ment for an RA40 Celica..if you have lowered springs..they are a good idea..because they are about 80mm shorter stroke than an AE86 item..and a bit stiffer in the valving..but for a bit more bound/rebound..i have heard to use a holden HQ 1 tonner rear shocks..about the same sorta free height as the RA40 one, but shit loads stiffer!

What's your budget? Super Cheap/AutObarn etc. sells a brand called Gabriel, I would recommend them, try to get yourself some Monroe's but nothing lower than that.
Cheers
hey matty thanks again for the help, what springs did u match with the ra40's and how much lower were the springs?
alan: how good are gabriel and whats the price range for a set of those...
seriously anything beats the shocks and springs than the originals, feels like im driving noahs arc
well i'm actually using RA40 factory spring at the moment..reset alot lower, they were reluctant to reset them as they said they were old and they only reset aftermarket springs..so i 2 pac blacked them..and used a brother P-touch to make up some lables that said AE86 in japanese he he he..they pretty damm stiff..i found this out because we were wrecking my old mans RA40..had a rebuilt 18R-G in it..but we put that in the tufflux..
