I have just had to removed a damaged front shock absorber, which meant replacing both front shox.
I removed KYB Gas-a-just (KG452)......Then replaced them with KYB GR2's (eye/eye).

Went for a test ride and there didn't seem to be much difference. :shock:
The question is, will they be ok, as I noticed that the bolt fitting sleeves were slightly longer on the new shocks.
or should I again change them back to Gas-a-just.

Not sure what to do, as the van had already been slightly lowered by PO. :oops:
 
GR2's will be fine. They are good shocks, better than standard.
 
Have replaced the shocks, but doooh :oops: , realised that the PO had also removed the bump stops...... Keep telling the boss, " it's a learning curve". :roll:

Can I get an aftermarket bump stop guide, looks like the original one has been cut off. :?:

When you lower a van most (if not all) people will cut the bump stops off to allow for the different position of the arms
 
It wont/shouldnt affect the height however dependant on how low your sitting it has a chance to affect the quality as the arms will be hitting the stops
