lower

[ice man]

hi my vans running a red 9 coilover setup up front.
and the rear is very low .well the rear shocks are bottoming out .can i put the front ones on the back??

How low is it? Is it so low that the spring plates are hitting the chassis?

i believe alot of folk use beetle shocks on the back of slammed buses with no problem. Get it up on the jacks and measure the travel, its the only way you'll be sure to stop it bottoming out. what shape are your bumpstops in? can you shave a little off or cut them down?

i have no bump stops...and the drive shaft is very close to the bottom of the van 1" away.
its been like it for two years but the mot man said my shocks have had it and we dont know what there off
i might take them to a motor factors and find somthing like them :shock:

again your best bet is to see how much travel you have and match them up to something similar this way you definitely wont hit any snags, but i think if your driveshafts are that close to the chassis you might be wise to buy stiffer shocks just incase.
