Do not use mustang shocks, they are too long for a lowered SRA.

Use 1985 Camaro shocks. They are short stroke. I have Monroe sensatracs, and they handle 300lb per inch springs like they were meant too.

You have to trim the rubber bushing 1/8" on each side to fit the bottom. You have to use S12 hardware for the bottom.

Mustangs will work for FACTORY ride height.

That's great stuff. I'll be sure to put it in my S12 notes hehe.

My car is 2.5" lowered in the back, and these shocks fit like they were made for this application. They dont bottom out, and they keep my springs from coming out by a long shot.
