Reviews & Ratings
- Expanded Length: 375mm, Collapsed Length: 245mm
- Designed for precise fitment, ensuring optimal suspension travel
- Ideal for lowered cars requiring correct shock length for performance
This oil-filled shock absorber is sold individually and designed to provide reliable suspension performance. With an expanded length of 375mm and a collapsed length of 245mm, it offers the right balance of firmness and control for your vehicle's suspension. It is especially important to fit the correct shock length to a lowered car, ensuring there is at least 2 inches of up-and-down travel from the normal ride height.
To determine the proper shock length, measure the distance between the shock mountings on your vehicle after removing the existing shock. This should be done with the vehicle on its road wheels (not on a jack). After measuring, compare your measurement with the shock absorbers we list to find the correct fit.

| Fitting Info | To fit on a Mk1 Caddy, you need to add an extra sleeve as the bolt is smaller on the Caddy than it is on aircooled vehicles Prior to fitting new shock absorbers always pump it through a few strokes the correct way up. This removes bubbles that may have formed in the fluid whilst in storage and improves the effectiveness. |
