I think you'll find they're way too long. Swift rear are similar too I think

If you have the ability to run Commy shocks then you can run Pajero rear shocks. Same extended and compressed lengths but they are Valved to suit a much heavier vahicle and are usually a much bigger bore.

Knowing this you can cross refrence them against some adjustable shocks and have the best of both worlds... super soft and nice and hard for towing/loading up.

I suspect jazz shocks will just be too light weight for a suzuki.

Coil spring shock valving is generally a lot stiffer than leaf spring valving since coils do not suffer from spring friction like a leaf pack does.

Hmmm.
Price pretty much rules it out too because Honda shit is expensive.

Although the pajero shocks sounds cool. But I've already got old man emu springs and shocks in the rear and springs in the front will SOOn replace the struts with iron man struts that are sitting in the shed waiting to be used.
