Shortened Shocks, Where can I get this ?

[Doomsdaya]

thats worth knowing, any idea what brand they keep? also which kwik-fit exactly would that be?

AFAIK they only got Monroe's...... Gabriel shocks only come in 1 size and thats for the standard 3 series.

I ended up getting the standard ones because the old ones were absolutely shot... I've only had them on for about a month and it is much better than before but i'm not sure how long they will last.

Please keep us updated on your shocks cause if these start going then i'll have to order a set.

why dont i hear Ian glass .? he takes your old shocks and shorten them or maybe can make something happen.

google his name ian glass shorten shocks.

Ian Glass only sell shortened shocks for a golof which comes with a 1 year guarantee & as for shortening the old shock, you must go through the trouble of taking the shocks out & fitting it back on again. AFAIK all Monroe's come with a 5 year guarantee.

Well it feels like rubber, I forgot to check the part number on the invoice. The guy at the parts department said its a protective seal...
