Rear shocks

[millworm]

Was told that classic mini rear shocks fit lowered Novas, is this true?

[millworm]

Surely somone knows

Can't imagine many people have tried consdering there's no shortage of Nova shocks?! No idea why you'd consider fitting Mini ones.

Looking at pictures I guess it would only depend on the bottom bolt hole size and bush dimensions in the shock.

Is this supose to be a cheap way to get shorter shocks?

i had some spax rear dampers that were imperial thread and tbh the mini damper does not look physically much different.

[millworm]

Not so much going to use it as a cheaper way if getting shorter shocks, but just that my shortened shocks aren't short enough lol

They only look to be about £20 a pair for standard Mini rears,so not a big loss if it doesn't work. I've just had an idea. If you buy some and they don't fit,cover them in dust and straw and then advertise 'em on Ebay as "barn find,rare,classic Mini" and you'll probably off load 'em for £135.

Lool true, was gonna buy the gaz ones so little more but I'll try it anyway and report back

I wonder if Mini van/estate ones would be heavier duty? They might be a bit longer though.

I doubt it,mini vans are about half ounce heavier lol
