Camaro Shocks

[einstein57]

I received the inserts (brass bearings) part # 6659k15 from mcmaster.com for the rears and popped them in. The are not as long as i'd like but they work ok when you torque them down. The quality of the bearing is crap. It is a cast piece with a fairly rough surface. I installed the shocks with some brand new IE RSMs using the supplied hardware that came with the KYBs. The fronts mounts need to be 1mm larger then stock.

A few quick probably answered before questions. Is there a DIY for how to adjust the bushing on the rear Camaro KYB to fit on the e30? And if using a rear MR2 insert for the front of the e30, are GC camber plates a direct fit?

Go to your local kyb dealer and buy one. Its more then just the length of the assembly. Valving, eyehole width and diameter, shaft length and diameter. Take measurements, post your findings, and get a refund.

Seriously dude??
I guess we should expect such questions from you after seeing the condition/state of your car.

they do not give a length, and that is why i am asking. i don't want to buy a longer shock by accident. ;)

Price doesn't really mean quality. Price is more based on demand. Spending more money than you need to isn't cool.

They are rears for a Focus for what it's worth (00-07)

KYB 741067 AGX Manually Adjustable Shock Absorber
would this model work also? and is it short like the other one?

(KYB 743019) is this the proper part # for the kyb's you posted Einstein57? on post #77

Yes. Its actually first postet in post #11. But not that you really need the part number seeing as how it fits all Camaro's ever made pretty much.

front sway bar.

+1 will be an issue on a dumped e30

[einstein57]

I see your point. I just did not want this to turn in to a discussion about springs height selection or camber correction kits etc. If you lower the car to the point of binding components it really has little to do with what shocks you have. The main issues to tackle are mounting fitment, shock travel, and allowable spring rates. I've seen a few cars that were lowered more then mine with out complaints other then the front sway bar.

[taiden]

I meant with the shortened shock. I imagine you run into other issues at that height with those shocks than the shock bottoming out. I dont think that derails the topic at all to be honest.

[einstein57]

Coil bind all depends on which springs you use. If you want my specs check here. I don't want to derail this thread too much.

[taiden]

How far can you go until you get coil or CV joint binding at that height?
