    Default springs/shocks

    heyy everyone.
    i just bought a set of superlows for my vp.
    just wondering what shockers i should use.
    can i got shortened in the back and leave the stockies in the front or should i change the front as well? does anyone had a rough price as well for a decent set?
    cheers

    Go some KYB Excels, great shocks especially for the money and yes i'd just get both front and rear done.

    Give GSLRally a call/message. They are site sponsors so go to their section of the forum. They do some great deals

    You should change the shocks anyway, use shortened on the rear to trap the springs, the fronts don't need short ones.

    I do Ultima's, $290 a full set, depending on where you are for postage.

    No one that we deal with does dedicated shortened shocks for the VP. KYB's for a VP are $98 each for the fronts, and $59 each for the rears.
