Default Shock absorbers for Ultra low/SSL springs

Hi all,

I'm chasing shock absobers for a live axle sedan with super super/ultra low springs.

With the help of b2tf (cheers man) I've managed to find rear shockies, but no luck on the front.

So who out there running the ultra lows has replced the shocks, and with what type. If possible, part numbers would be great.

Cheers

I hear BOGE short shocks are the best bang for your buck with that type of spring.

But give those dudes a call and see what they have in stock for you.

ive searched through our monroe, kyb and gabriel books at work and can only find the rears in gabriels. Monroe are apparantly going to start making them in the third quarter of the year (bit late for us).

I thought Boge would be worth chasing up, but I might just make nutter buy a full Koni coilover kit instead :hihi:

If on a budget go the boge's but konis or billys are the most reliable hence the price.
