Well all though I can find those shocks fairly easy my biggest problem is finding someone who can ship to the US. And the price of shipping is about the same price as the shocks. LOL Well if it was easy, it would be boring so more research is needing to be done. I'll update if anyone is interested.

Thank you Audm... That's just what I needed to know. Have a drink on me. :D

So I read all this to learn something since I am wanting shorter rear shocks/struts for my Ke70 and what I learned is no coil overs in the rear. LOL Also am sad to not see anymore progress on the OP's ride. So if someone does know of a easy replacement for what I am wanting here that would be helpful. I want to get away from stock shocks obviously cause they don't last and so I just ride compressed until I decide to replace them again. I have a guy who can find me a 19 inch (2 inches shorter than stock) but they are post to post which would require some minor modification. Is there a shorter shock I can buy that I wouldn't have to mod for mounting for this ride? This is my daily so quicker in and out is better than moving into the shop. :) Thanks.

I will agree with it cause it's cheap and I have not had any problem with it ever since I cut mine in 1990 when I bought mine. Stiff suspension... YES for at least a few months then it breaks in. Glad the person who cut mine was spot on the first time and quick. Still use them to this day. Just don't do what I did when they first got cut and spin out on the freeway on ramp. LOL That was kind of embarrassing.

For owning my car for over 22 years now, I have also had this problem. I have done all the quick fixes, parking on hills, quick turn of the ignition before shutting off and rebuilds and or cleans. Rebuilds or cleans would last for about a little over a year then back to the same thing. I then rerouted wiring away front the stock manifold. Wiring was ok. Strange but I decided to take off the heat shield. That seemed to help a little where I didn't have as many episodes of not starting. I bought a new starter.... (you're gonna like this) It sat in the back of my car for 3 years and then in storage for 3 more years until the new starter was trash due to condensation and calcium buildup. (horribly humid area I lived in) The new starter sat because all of a sudden my old one stopped having issues and for about 10 years, stuck with the same starter until this year when it just flat out died. I no longer have the stock manifold but changing a starter is still a pain. All is good now after going through 2 new starters and so far after 6 months, I have no problems. So this was just more of a story to tell but you may try some of the things I did and see if it works if you're like me and money is not easy to come by in large amounts. hehe.
