Good Place to get Shocks shorten??

Postby Soarer T » Mon Feb 25, 2008 10:22 pm

hey, just some random questions. had shortened my springs, as a result. they are no longer captive with standard shocks. so maybe i guess i have to get shocks shorten to match them.

does anyone know a good place to get shocks shortened?whats the normal price to get them done? have got enough budget, so might have to ask some one if they know a good deal around chch. cheers. :D

you have or haven't got a good budget?

chamberlains (or whatever) just off columbo st in sydenham do it I think.

Could be worth getting new shocks shortened if you have the coin, saves half f**ked ones becoming fully f**ked real quick :lol:

cheers for that, anyway. have to save some coins for a new shocks then.
if i have to shorten the shocks to match the springs, do i shorten the same distance as springs or more?

give them the springs you are to use and they should sort the rest. They do it for a living afterall.

i'd say same distance + a bit more tho at a guess

I'd recommend chamberlains, go in and have a talk to them, tell them your requirements. They are more than happy to listen to you
