Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: dth on September 06, 2017, 21:35:36 pm I made a simple angled bracket to bolt to the k&l beam , lets you run the balljoint style shocks.

I have seen some rlr shocks on aircooled.net but they are pretty expensive Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: numbnuts on October 10, 2017, 16:41:08 pm Think Ritchie posted a link to these previously, anyone know if they are suitable for King and link pin?

I spoke with customer services at GAZ and they are confirming which model they have but they do sell a 90/10 shock for beetles Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: numbnuts on December 14, 2017, 13:27:41 pm Well if anyone is interested in this apart from me the response from GAZ is that the GT5-2301 shocks are what I need and they will cost £55.00 each + carriage & vat
Hope this helps someone in the future Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: leec on December 14, 2017, 14:43:22 pm So that's the part number from GAZ for a 90/10 shock for a link pin beam?
If so.....Ask them if we get discount for 2 pairs. I need a pair for the notch Lee After a quick google, are you sure that part number isn't just a standard adjustable shock? Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: Neil Davies on December 14, 2017, 17:16:04 pm I had the Competition Engineering shocks on the front of my old car. It was balljoint rather than linkpin, but they were 3-way adjustable 90/10, 60/40 and somewhere in between. Muffler Mike had some shock tower extensions to allow him to use longer versions which were easier to get IIRC.

Yes the guy I spoke with said he needed to valve it correctly to be a 90/10 shock, he seemed to be very knowledgeable about it. The rears are the same price but valved differently Already paid for them and also the rears as in the link, wish I knew about the GAZ rears before I ordered from the states ::) Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: leec on December 14, 2017, 21:10:38 pm Cool, let me know what you think of them when you get them

Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: peach_ on January 12, 2018, 14:41:46 pm Shocks have turned up, look really nice, also came with a graph showing the damping rate for each which is nice would it be possible for you to put both graphs up of the fronts and rears to show the different damping? Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: numbnuts on January 21, 2018, 22:44:45 pm I only got the fronts from gaz, I can put the graph up for that at some point
Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: Mattatat on January 22, 2018, 16:53:02 pm I ordered the balljoint style and cut the eye off some old ones sitting around. Cut the stud off and welded the eye to the top.

Can i ask what the advance is with these shocks Gr henri Title: Re: Front drag shocks for king link pin Post by: numbnuts on January 23, 2018, 11:32:20 am Hello Can i ask what the advance is with these shocks Gr henri They allow the front to rise up easier and stay up longer to keep the weight transferred to the rear for better traction |
