[color=#400000]Ive got a 2.0 v6 323f that needs a rear nearside shock absorber because the current on has seized solid... easy? nope! phoned everywhere and no one has them?! Can anyone help me?? Nick [/color]

Where are you based Nick? I can have a pair off my breaker this weekend - I'm based near Northampton

I have them. Looks like Hughie has it sorted for you though.

Remember to change the pair.

I'm in Devon, near honiton.. I've seen something saying that rear shocks for the 2.0 v6 are the same as the 1.8/1.5 is this true??

Thanks for the replies! I'm just outside Exeter so will be in touch with 'the probe store' tomorrow as its a lot closer.. but thanks Hughie, and by the way your car looks awesome...

FPS is a better option then - they'll be new rather than 75k miles old, and nearer

Thanks It doesn't look like the pic at the moment it's in bits!

Once again someone told me that rear shocks for a 1.8 are the same as 2.0 v6.. any thoughts?? Nick

Yeah the'yre all interchangable

So putting a set of 1.8 shocks on will make no difference then? Nick

Nope The only difference will be new vs old

So 2.0 shocks are higher spec/ performance then? N

No... did you not read my reply?

They're the same - shocks are the same, no different, identical, exactly the same

The springs are different - front are slightly stiffer to accomodate the heavier engine, and the rears are slightly lower to match the slightly lower front. The shocks are the same.

You'll only notice a difference if you're replacing tired, worn old shocks with brand new ones.

Right, got you... mistook what you were saying :/
Thanks for all the advice Nick

no worries!

Like I said, I've got a pair of working shocks but they're 75k miles old - if you've got the cash, get new ones from FPS seeing as he's local

Strange is that KYB list them as different, and I supply a different set for 2.0, always have.
