ISO delete wrap up (shocks)

[casey henson]

The last part of the rear suspension ISO delete. Convert to early style shocks. Pretty straightforward trimming the original shock mounts for clearance. The KYB shocks are high pressure and super stiff. they raised the rear of the car back up about an inch.

Those look a lot longer than stock, will the car bottom out on the bump stop or the shock body now?

They are the correct length for the new shock mount location. The mounting point moves down that much from the factory shock location.

Hmmm, shocks aren't meant to alter ride height. If they raised the height by an inch I'd imagine its because they've bottomed out.

These are not bottomed out

The gas shocks are pressurized, and that pressure must be pushing some on the weight of the car.

I would sure hope the man would have noticed they were bottomed out at the time he installed them!! Im sure hes saying he gained a little height because they are pressurised. Id kinda like to see a "before" pic of the mount tho, as i am not familiar.
