sion Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Has anyone been through this exercise?I've replaced all shocks with Koni Sport adjustables, retained stock R front springs & require the spring specs for the rears.A local supplier sells replacements, however I've discovered since fitting them that they're a way off the mark at 120lbs & the car now sits 10mm lower at the rear than it did with the Nivomat shock/spring combo. Ideally, I'm looking to retain the stock R ride height.Recipe anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 If you have a FWD 850 w/ nivos, ANY rear shock for the 850 will work, however you will need to swap the springs out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will then be used to create a custom spring to hopefully solve my probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
