bubblegoose Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 id say if any of those shocks are still around they would be toast by now look for some after market ones from the uk or somthing (or make some ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I never heard of Hunters with adjustable shocks, I know Imp ones won't fit as I have some Imps and a Hunter. Hunter is leaf spring Imp have little coils. I used rear shocks from a e30 Bmw in the Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 are bwm e30 shocks adjustable also? and do they go straight into the hunters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 can I just ask why exactly you deem it necessary to have adjustable dampers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 can I just ask why exactly you deem it necessary to have adjustable dampers? In order to obtain a lower ride height.. obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 but adjustable shocks wont make it lower??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ive seen hillmans with adjustable shocks that raise or lower the height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 air adjust shocks can lift it up a bit but you will need blocks to lower it (or reset leafs) get some 2 inch blocks and some air shocks then you can lift it up to std and back down to 2" lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 if i had 2" blocks, what shocks would i need [cheapest possible option] i am no worried about bringing it back up to standard height. will the standard shocks do? or will i need something different?

bubblegoose Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 yeah std shocks will be fine if your just after making it lower also 2" was just an example, make sure you check the wheel clearances and measure how much you want to lower it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Will it damage the shocks [Like fronts get damaged] or will the be sweet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 will be sweet. shocks only get damaged when you keep bottoming them out, the bump stops on your diff should stop this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
