Title: Rear shocks for IRS Post by: chateau la fete on January 18, 2019, 17:36:27 pm 1954 oval converted to IRS, around 180 HP
Servicing the rear end (been many years!) so taken out the rear trailing arms/shocks/stub axials and was going to replace bushes, bearings etc with genuine VW parts - still looking for a supplier?! Car is standard height at the rear, dropped at the front (not narrowed) What’s a good shock for rear IRS setup on standard height? mine are shot! Thanks Title: Re: Rear shocks for IRS Post by: ibg on January 19, 2019, 02:07:33 am I like the Koni 80-2149, oil filled, adjustable rebound and not too firm. Around $100 US
I have also used Bilstein gas but they were quite harsh, good on the track but not on the street Title: Re: Rear shocks for IRS Post by: richie on January 19, 2019, 09:09:27 am koni reds is what I use on most of my conversions :)
