Official rule is you are allowed to say search if you also do the search and list the most relelvent results 
then I think the person that didnt search should do a tech article on the subjuect
but yeah, VR-VS Wagon rears are the go |

But seriously this question is asked almost twice a week, we should have a commodore shock sticky up the top or something |

Every time the same question is asked there is always some new tech that comes out with it. If you use the Commo shocks, be sure to extend bumpstops. I'll post up a pic later of what I've done. |

How do people get around the smaller bush size on the bottom of the shocks? Mine had a metal sleeve in it to suit (I think) a 12mm shaft. I just flogged the sleeve out with a hammer  and used the standard bush that was left. Bloody tight fit though and it ends up being a bit agricultural IMO.
Is there a better way of doing it? |

Thanks for all the replies, I went down to super cheap today and measured up the front shocks and they are approximately 100mm shorter than what I already have so I’m still looking around to find something bigger. my front shocks are 365mm closed and 630mm open. too short |
