Shock absorbers
Telescopic shock absorber replacements
Shock absorbers which are dimensionally perfect are:
Front:
Koni 80-1349, Length fully extended 386mm, fully compressed 257mm.
Damping forces @ 0,33m/sec in Bump 450N, Rebound 900N.
Heavier alternative with same dimensions is Koni 80-1350.Forces @ 0,33 m/sec in
Bump 750N; Rebound 1050N
Both types have been designed for VW.
Rear:
Koni 80-2584, designed for Fiat.
Length fully extended 416mm, fully compressed touching built-in bump stop to avoid damper bottoming out internally =285mm Height of bump stop is 17mm.
(All dimensions measured from centre to centre.)
If necessary Koni dampers can be revalved to suit the customer's requirements!
Evidently, David Spiegel has done some research and sourced some other shocks for the rears of a VA. These are Gabriel 82003 and are available here
