Toledo and Dolly Shocks

#1 Post by Lord Tolly »

Can anyone tel me if the toledo and doly shocks are interchangeable as I plan to change them all .

I suspect the dolly ones are fitted on mine at the front as it is coverted to a tr7 engine with a 1850 subframe.

Rear shox are interchangeable throughout the RWD range, front shox match the spring diameters, loosely speaking there is 1 for Sprint and 1850 models and 1 (with smaller dia spring seat) for everything else.
I think there were several different shock rates available originally but most are now just sold as "Dolomite" so are probably best fitted in pairs to avoid discrepancies in rate.
