    Where to find short shocks for the rear

     



    Hi again from Norway

    My project is slowly moving forward.

    I am at the point that I am mounting the rear shocks.
    I need short shocks with preferably 10-11” ride height.
    The problem is I need a shock with a top stud mount.
    The front shock for the Mustang II suspension as sold by Speeway and others would be perfect but I fear they would be to hard for use on the rear of a light roadster.
    Do you have any suggestions where I can find soft shocks like the Mustang fronts?

    Thank you

    Vegard

    Find a REAL parts store with a REAL parts guy, not the kids with the computers, and give him your shock dimensions and compressed and extended length.... REAL parts stores still have catalogs from the manufacturers that list shocks by description, type of mounting, and heights...... Around here, my NAPA guy is the best, but then he's a hot rodder, too......
