Title: Rear Shocks (and advice!)
Post by: doglog on January 14, 2010, 12:32:24 AM

I've decided that while I'm servicing my new baby and getting her ready to hopefully fly through the MOT I'm going to attempt to drop her a couple of inches (on a budget!)
after reading through some helpful threads on this forum, I've ordered a reverse eye leaf spring from 500mania
now I'm after some rear shocks to replace the fronts (I am assuming that the standard rear shocks are the ones to use)
Does anyone have a couple lying around or can point me in the right direction?
Would these be OK: https://webshop.fiat500126.com/index.php/katalog/artikelinfo/51-1-rear_shock_absorber.html
(Also, do rears have the same fittings as the fronts and go straight on, or will they need modifying?)
Thanks in advance
Si

I have done that exact mod, and used standard rear shocks. The ones you have linked to will be fine.
