Ive got RA60 rear shocks in the back of my 70
they are a bit shorter stroke and a bit stiffer.
ive got chevy nomad shocks in mine, they are actually the same part number as commodore shocks, not sure which type though.
they are quite stiff with the orange springs i have installed and there is fuck all travel

its the old VB to VR live axle shox that work, IRS VS and onwards have the metal bush through them.
the earlier models VB, VC, VH (maybe VL) that have the short stroke deal happening. the chassis changed from VN onwards so i'm not sure how different they are.
VL Police pursuit rear shocks.65mm shorter at full extension,shorter stroke,nice and firm.Correct bushes.Did this last week.$46.00 each at SC.Sweeeeet.
I might sound like a dum arse but I'm going to ask this any way,
Could people please post not only what the shox are from but also from where, ie. front or rear of the donor car, for both shox and springs,
sierra/front...OK
The question of how much to cut off the AU springs came up but was un answered.
And what are the cheaper front set ups out there that work well ei. 7-8kg
Not having a bitch just want more info on top of the mountain of info already layed out in this thread.
Cheers guys love the work
Finally got around to putting my suspension gear in, including the 343113 kyb shocks (rear vb-vr wagon lowered)
bolt straight in and work a treat, hold my ahhmm 'shortened' lovell springs in perfect
they rated better than the normal monaros and have the same physical dimensions! if your not going for crazy low sierra shocks these as far as i can find are the next best thing !
damo
Hi-lux RN85 single cab 2wd front shocks will fit. shorter stroke and i imagine alot stiffer.
Oh and thats the model with the 22R carby engine if that helps getting part numbers etc.
you get one ford au spring and chop it in half
sorry to drag this up again but can someone tell me what year model u get the sierra shocks out of
