Hey all!

I have an offer of getting KYB shocks for my wagon at trade prices - Way too good to pass up!

My question is the wagon is lowered 2.5ish all round, the shocks arent shortened. But I have also been told that shortened shocks arent really available from factory and the suspension shops have to shorten them for you at an added cost.

So that has left me confused, but my main question is will there be any issues using KYB shocks on my lowered wags? I just want to save some serious cash, and even if the life is shortened I can afford to buy nearly two for the same price I can buy one set pedders sportsryder shocks.

So share your opinions peeps! :D

From what I've heard you don't need shortened shocks, it's just a myth. If you can find evidence of anyones springs falling out due to stock size shocks (such as the ones you probably have in now) then by all means, investigate it further. But I doubt you will.
