Evan G Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 A couple of quick questions Do VN wagon rear shockers fit into a ke55 rear? If i invert the rear leafs with the vn wagon shocks will they bottom out? Before going for new stock shockers in the front can i add some thicker hydralic oil? (ill be running Eb rears springs in the front) should i worrie about front shocks? sierra front shockers, vn wagon shocks, bmw E30 shocks, what else bolts right in?

webb Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes, really. If you cut it, then grind it flat on the top, make sure it seats correctly when its lowered there is no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Cutting and grinding is not good for the heat treatment of the spring! This is why its suggested that this is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverra23 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Do what you like to your own car, as long as you know the risks. It probably won't fail, but if it does and you end up in a prang and injure someone, your insurance isn't going to want a bar of it and you will be up for the costs. Of course there is the conscience factor too.. But I am an old bloke and like to do things properly. You go for your life :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is the conscience factor too.. Not to mention the legal factor too. If you kill someone you CAN be charged with manslaughter for running cut springs.
