Re: Shocks & Springs
The first question is whether you want anything uprated/lowered or whatever.
In terms of quality, ebay throws up OEM shocks (beware the ones with loose spring pans, they are often missing ot teh support rings are)
If you want adjustable, GAZ seem to be ok, and also available in height adjustable.
As to springs, it seems to be the wild west out there, if you want std springs I would reuse your own.
As to rubbers, new shocks should come with teh eye rubber and the top mounts rubbers. They will NOT come with the top pans or the large rubber washer that the spring sits on.

Re: Shocks & Springs
I have a brand new set of shocks & springs that I bought from Rimmer Bros. for one of my Sprint projects, 8-10 years ago. Never used them as the customer wanted to upgrade to Spax.
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years.
... Still Sprintless.

Re: Shocks & Springs
i was thinking of keeping it standard not going to spend too much on this one it wont be worth it in the long run, just want to make it a better drive, done top ball joints and tightened up wheel bearings, will need to do the Carbs as running rich and i believe its the wax jet type so they need a overhall, ill see how i go, its running and driving so done want it stuck in the garagecliftyhanger wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 10:17 amThe first question is whether you want anything uprated/lowered or whatever.
