Hi All,
I bought some new rear shocks for my Valver, they were from a Renault kangoo but I was told they were the same length as the stock shocks, just a lot stiffer.
Tonight I managed to get the old rear shocks off my car after a bit of a struggle however when I offer up the new rear shocks against the OE De-Carbon ones they are around 1" longer.
As a result of this I couldn't get the new shocks on as the rear beam did not drop down enough to give sufficient clearance.
As far as I can tell the rear torsion bar is still at the stock height so I can see the only way of fitting these shocks would be to raise the rear height, something that I do not really want to do.
Can anyone think of any other way of getting these fitted? The shocks are very stiff so can't see how I could compress them.
Thanks,
Lee.
