Title: EMPI Lowered Front Shocks 68-72 Bug
Post by: Beetleboi -Greg- on October 29, 2008, 08:53:16 pm
I purchased a new pair of EMPI Lowered Shocks Ball Joint style 66-77 Bug/Ghia for 50 Bucks asking for 25 because they will just sit here dad can't use them because he has a Super. Have some thing to trade?! Let me know.

I found KYB Lowered front Shocks and Regular Rear Shocks and I'm going to go with KYB because they have a better rep.

 Greg. I have a New Set of Ball Joint shocks Front KYB GR2's for Lowered Cars. still in the Box if interested? But are you sure you need lowered shocks?

 Also have a set of KYB's shocks for KingPin cars. "New & Boxed"

Jay i heard that if you lower a car any you need to change the shocks to compisate for the shoter distance traveled of the shock

  I could be wrong but I believe that if you use dropped spindles the shocks stay in stock position.
At least that's what I did on mine with dropped spindles, I used stock shocks.

The square has been lowered in the front and I still use stock shocks. If your front axle can knock over a standing beer can- use stock . If you can drag the can- use lowered.
