What short rear shocks are you running?

Hi all,

As the title really...

My rear suspension has settled nicely since I rebuilt it a couple of years ago with adjustable spring plates. I want to go a little lower this season but my standard rear shocks are already bottoming out. From memory I think my eyelets are currently at around 38cm apart...

I did a search and couldn't find anything much to do with lowered rear setups. I'd like to hear what you all are running and if you're happy with them etc.

Cheers
Jim

Best bet is to get the bus to the height you want, mark your shocks and measure the movement, then look into the shocks available for your needs. Mine are KYG and work perfectly well, the one I took off bottomed out and crashed and banged........

Front shocks will do the job

Front shocks will do the job

standard front shocks? good call if that's the case, could save me a bit of wedge

Only if they suit your requirements

No pics at the moment, but mine is down one spline and got adjustable springplates mounted.

I'm going similar setup. red9 is going on the front and one spline plus adjustables on the rear. Will deffo be checking if I can use my front shocks on the back

I don't know if your in for some airshocks . . . I've installed a pair of Gabriel airshocks and Slamwerks adjustable springplates. For me the stance is just perfect and this setup is really comfortable
