datzenmike Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Shocks do not set ride height. The spring does. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 that looks just like a b210 rear shock. i will have to measure now. thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 you can find the datsun KYB GR-2 for ~$20 ill have a set (w/springs and isolators avail soon) Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I rather have the Koni D shock!!!!!!!!!!!! adjust it by pushing down all the way and feel till it engages then turn the shock. Koni D are rebound adjustable only. so if you get it too tight the spring might not come up all the way cause shock is holding it. Gas shocks are the oppisite unless you get a adjustable tension and compression. GR2s are a cheap replacement shock in my opinion like the Moroes. These are not bad,just saying Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 You can still get the Koni D shocks Can't remember how much I paid for them Not cheap but ... Now the yellow Koni Sport will be extremely difficult to find Quote Link to comment

nismo dr Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) and they don't really absorb shock they dampen spring oscillations, which is why every where but USA call them dampers hot damn - my 100th post woo hoo Edited August 9, 2009 by nismo dr Quote Link to comment
