jim_l Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Not sure what the front shock operating lengths are for an SE? These are 'functional but not pretty' AVO shocks that were on my SEiW. Closed length about 10'5" , Fully open about 13.5" They are 11.5" as depicted with an 8" - 275lb spring on. They would certainly fulfil the criteria of keeping costs down.

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 It's usual to measure from the centre of each eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_l Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Sorry about the delay, just seen this. Ideally we would specify a desired ride height and make sure the shock travel gave you scope for bump and rebound damping. From the picture you it appears you have measured 13.5" end to end , which would be 12.5" eye-to eye, put the weight of the car on them and at ride height I'd guess you are looking for length of 11.5 or 12.0 inches. These should do that, 12.0 inches being in the middle of their range. It would be worth you being sure of that, postage at that weight is £9 ish. I'll box them up and send them your way for £35 including postage. PM Me. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
