Default New rear shocks for classic

How hard a DIY job is this - I think its fairly simple but who's done it?

Plus, what do you reckon?

I have 300bhp, stiffer ARB front and back, Castor / Anti lift kit at front and Castor bolts at the rear.

Car may get occasional track use (have done 4 track days in 7 yrs), but 99% road.

Standard shocks, after market brand, what do you reckon?


I may get round to doing fronts before they need it but probably not with 1st baby due any day.

Cheers

Hi. If You running on standard springs then you'll need spring compressors to change the shocks. It is WELL easy job mate. If you're anywhere near to Bedford, let me know and I can give You a hand or even do it for You FREE of charge. I've got all the tools needed.

I've changed front and rear shocks on my V2 Sti, as above, I bought these from Camskill - NO ISSUES !!!

it seems easy enought but the brake hose goes through the bracket, how can i separate this from the shock without disconnecting it from the caliper etc?
