I recently did this and it was a snap. I used a hydraulic press to 1. push the Camaro bushings out of the shocks, 2. force the e30 sleeves into the Camaro bushings, 3. push the Camaro bushings/e30 sleeves back into the shocks. Zero issues with the threads and nut up top, although I did have to drop the floor jack down to compress the suspension a little before the threads would come up through the upper mounts. -
SWEET, good to know people trying this, do you have part number for AGX? How was installation on top mount bolt, the threads look like different lengths?Leave a comment:

Camaro Shocks
Just thought I would post up my swap to 82-02 Camaro rear shocks. Sorry for crappy iPhone pics.
Took about 15min total. I decided to use KYB AGX adjustable shocks as my work is a dealer for these and I cant say no to the pricing vs quality.
If these handle well, I might just put them in 85 Camaro Z28!
Compare lengths vs the previous KYB Gas-A-Just I was running. (great shock btw)
Bushing widths:
Custom bushing. Its a male pipe to pipe adapter, 1/2" pipe (maybe 3/8 pipe?) I believe, will have to double check. The 12mm bolt fits perfectly inside!
I used a vise to install and keep it centered.
Installed, adjuster is completely accessible, tho a little hard to see without getting right underneath it.
