Rear shockers

Grahame Rob · 15th October 2014, 19:39

Does anybody know if the ZT rear shockers are any different to a 75's. One of mine has give up the ghost so I got in touch with euro car parts and was quoted £180 each but the ones for the 75 are only £35 each. Has anyone any idea if the 75's will fit on my ZT and if there will be any effect on the handling on my car.

They will fit but spring rates are different, to that end the shock absorbers have different damping rates. Handling will be different, whether it is noticeable, I don't know.
