datsun 1200 sedan rear shocks

Post by Madpup »

Where do I find shorter rear shocks for the back of my 1200 sedan.
If anyone has any information it would be appreciated. And if someone has a 120 sway bar I would be interested in it.
Cheers Ben

I have read somewhere that apparently VS holden ute shocks fit, I have a set of shortened ones yet to be fitted.
Once I do fit I'll let you know and do a little write up and photos on the install.

Hi
You can pick them up cheep as from a Holden wrecker mate. try it they look like they will fit with little effort.
This is where I got it from:

Not alot of detail and I would of thought someone on here would have had played enough with the rear end to have some advice for us but maybe not we'll have to be the crash test dummies :D

I am picking up the new toy tomorrow and will see what it has in the rear.
