Stock Shock Heights

[Nite_Shayde]

Hello all,

Can anyone here tell me what the heights of the stock shocks are? The dimension from the upper surface of the upper mounts to the a-arm bolt holes is what I'm after on both the fronts and rears.

Thanks

It's 27 inches from the ground to the top of the arch iiirc

Thanks, that's good to know. Would still like to know the actual height of each shock though!

 

[Nas80]

I'm curious. Why do you need to know this?

 

[Nite_Shayde]

I have a set of coilovers with me that are only partially threaded; I'd like to work out how much they'll drop the car exactly

wont that be dependant on the spring length and stiffness, rather than the length of the shock body?

And if the shock is 30mm shorter it's sat at a variable angle so it doesn't mean it drops the car by 30mm would be 20 or something
