sorry another astra shock thread

[Jamie_stafford]

Just been looking at some 1990 astra shocks on ebay, are these the right ones? 260977429933
also i found these with ring both ends 270914156523 any good for the back?

[ferris]

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!

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?

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

[twiss]

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
