Short rear shocks
#1
Hi,

Hopefully this is in the right section.

Right now the car sits like this on the back
   

It cannot go any lower as it's still on standard rear shocks, can anyone recommend any shorter shocks that will let it sit lower?

Cheers,

Dave.

I would guess you will need coilovers, perhaps the shocks manufacturers 'GAZ' could make you a custom set.

To go even lower than that I would consider air ride suspension. Love the wheels btw

Is this the same Astra that hit a pot hole and pushed the front drivers strut up into the bonnet a few weeks back.

Yea, is same astra that hit pot hole haha Smile all sorted now, 2 new top mounts later xD

Got the wheels from a chap in Wales for 150 and refurbished them gun metal grey Smile

Its on air at the moment, that's it fully aired out, but it can go lower, just limited by the stock shocks.

I'll take a look at GAZ shocks, Cheers Smile
