Suzuki, because life's to short to be fixing landrovers!
Re: sorry another astra shock thread
Yeah they look like the right ones.
I woudn't be to sure about the ones with the rings at both ends tho. I'v never heard of anyone using them before, which probably means they wont fit.

Mine have got the rings on both ends and they seem to work OK!

Re: sorry another astra shock thread
you need to know the open and closed lengths really to see how well suited they are to your set up? then the valving could be a bit of a gamble as they could be valved differently to the astra shocks most people run?

Re: sorry another astra shock thread
i have fitted a 2" calmini lift to my rear of my sj and the shcoks on it at the mo are to short
twiss are the astra shocks with 2 eyes working ok as i know you can make a bar and fit 1 eye shocks to the rear but if the 2 eye shocks work that would be great

Re: sorry another astra shock thread
My rear shocks are working fine but I can't guarantee that they are the same. I was told that they are astra shocks but someone's put such a think layer of paint over them I havent found any model numbers yet
