Default Replaced with simple performance UK shocks by GAZ

My R's shocks finally gave up after 20 plus years and bushings are all wore out.

I went for the adjustable shocks by simple performance UK.

In mid setting. Thr shocks take the back NY road pretty well.

How is the car's height compared to stock?

Cool. But I meant how does the car sit, in relation to being on the stock shocks. Do you get me?

Hi, Brandon. I got your question but I didn't have a chance to take a closer look until this morning. by eye balling it, the car sits up a little higher in the rear I think because the shock bushing Simply Performance UK supplies me.

My Mechanic told me if I were using the stock spec/ OEM bushing, the car should ride at the same height.

We’re you replacing CATS shocks? If so, did you need to make any programming changes?

Is there any particular reason you selected the adjustable shocks as a replacement?
