nickel&dime Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I got 2" blocks for my 510 Wagon and I'm looking at getting these Koni adjustable Camaro rear shocks part number 80 1915. Will they fit? Thanks in advanced Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sorry, saw your pm but forgot to respond... what are the extended/collapsed lengths? Other than the blocks, are you changing or de arching springs... if only block you will need a stock application shock length as the mounting points won't change, only the diffs position. Also, the konis you posted will need modification. You'll need to press out the cross pin and drill or ream out the bushing to 5/8 id. Not incredibly difficult but note worthy none the less ;) Quote Link to comment

Says they are oem length http://www.streetperformance.com/part/koni-shock-absorbers/shock-absorber/41304-80-1953.html Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Again... those are not your application and are very short. Too short if your only lowering via blocks and not de arching the springs. What we need to know is the factory length for wagons. I just so happen to know this and they're 21.5" extended and 12.75" collapsed center mounting point to center mounting point. 3/8" stud mount at the top and 5/8" eyelet bushing at the base. With this information you have two choices, find an application designed to fit a stock 510 wagon or find a chart that outlines the the lengths and mounting point configurations for an application that will work. I've done this myself but can't seem to find the charts I used. It's not tough to do with a little time and effort but will require detailed spec sheets or a call to the manufacturer. Good luck!

Laecaon Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 For a performance shock for stock wagons, KYB AGX seems to be the go to shock. For the Camaro. (the AE86 crowd uses this shock as well, but they all claim its not valved correctly for their cars, well der). Quote Link to comment
