Need Shock Measurements For 240-Z's

[Carl Beck]

Hi Gang:

If you have a new KYB GR2 shock cartridge for the FRONT of your 240-Z (KYB #361002) - that is not yet installed in your car; could you please extend the piston rod to it's fully extended length. Then measure the distance from the top of the cartridge to the tip of piston rod.

Likewise the rear #361001

Likewise the Tokico's...

Let me know what you find.....

thanks,

Carl B.

Bump.... Come on guys - you mean to tell me that no one has new set of shocks laying around that they haven't gotten installed yet !..

Carl, PM a7dz. I think Jim still has a set of KYBs on his bench.

Carl,

I have a set of Tokico HPs, the rears are not mounted, the fronts are(but the front suspension isn't) so...

Front HZ3015 8 & 5/8" (not a direct measurement)

Rear HZ3016 8 & 3/8"

Hi Guys:

Thanks for the input.

I was trying to find out if any of the after-market shocks, were significantly longer or shorter in Piston Length, than the OEM Replacement Cartridges. Doesn't look like there is any significant difference.... The OEM Front Shock Piston Length including the treads... is 8 1/4".

FWIW,
