View Full Version : Can someone measure the length of a front damper for me ?
As title, open & closed length and also the length of the body.
Edit: If anyones got a Vectra B front damper kicking about, fancy measuring that as well ?
Cheers
Surely someones got a Nova damper kicking about that they could measure ??
A standard one?
How urgent is it
Il be back in a min with mesurment.
A standard one?
How urgent is it
Aye a std will do, not exactly urgent but could do with knowing.
Cheers
Ok so ive got a SR and a standard setup. Only rough guides.
Sr (no spring) 18Inch from the bottom of the body to the top of the bolt at the top. Body, from the bottom to just under the spring seat 9inchs. Compressed i couldnt get a good reading but i think its about 2-3inchs less?
Standard - Bottom of the body to the top of the bolt 21Inchs. Body to the spring seat is also 9inchs. From the top of the spring seat to the top of the bolt is 11 inchs (with a standard spring fitted)
Hope this helps, if you need more let me know, il do my best.
Aye gives me an idea cheers. didn't think there'd be any difference between std and SR dampers tho ? i'd of thought that after market stuff would be the same length as well tbh.
These are the measurements i'm after.

Now ive woken up.
Body is 12.5 inchs. Full shock at full lengh is 21 inchs, min is 17.5.
Ignore my previous post.
Take it thats the std one ?
" min is 17.5 " ?? is thats its compressed length, surely it has more than 3.5" of travel !?!
Is the SR one shorter then, is it an oigional SR damper or an after market one thats been fitted to an SR ??
Sorry thats the Sr shock, Yer min is compressed fully. But mesure number 4, Compressed is 16inch. fooking hell i fail today!
AFAIK its a standard one, but cant be sure as it came with a job lot of spares.
The sr was lowered a few mm all round wasn't it? so it'd make sense that it had shorter dampers as well, 3 inches seems a little extreme though, that's nearly 75mm ! Unless it ran a lot less droop as well, I couldn't say why though, I can't say I recall the standard droop on mine being ridiculous
