Does anyone know if standard shock absorbers are interchangable,i've got a year 2000 uk turbo and need new shocks for the MOT and moneys a bit tight at the minute and i've seen some for sale at a very good price but not sure what model there from,there advertised as fitting all clasics from 94 to 2000,anyone got any ideads,i can find out what model,just got to phone the seller,thanks

 

The fittment of the shock absorbers across the classic range is identical from 1993 to 2001.

You will find however, that the damping rate of s/absorbers from a non turbo car is much softer, they will fit, but they wont match your springs and the car proberly won't handle very well, or could even be dangerous if you try and corner at speed.

So, Yes, Anything will fit, but try and stick with s/aborbers from a Turbo.

If you end up getting units from an import then you will find that the ride is a bit stiffer.

Hope that helps
Phil
