Mini shocks on the rear of a nova

[blue_peg_16v]

Have heard in a few places that you can use classic mini shocks on the rear of a nova when lowering it heavily been told there a shorter body but the same fitting as a nova anyone running them?

Adjustable gaz rears are only £88 delivered a pair so be interested to know if anyone is using mini dampers

Millworm asked this question not that long ago. I cant remember the outcome.

just get some proper nova short ones from Gaz

[blue_peg_16v]

That is an option but not really the answer to the question I was asking

[millworm]

Got a mate with a mini to take measurements and it looked as if it'd work but I never followed through and got Coilovers insted

Mk1 cavalier front shocks fit rear of nova and are shorter but can't remember how much

[Benn]

Very little travel in them, very hard, can make the back end skip.

A Gaz set up all the way.

Yes, my Nova had Mini rear dampers on it when I first got it.

Bolted straight on.

I don't know if this helps, but my old spax rears were definitely unf thread. I found this a tad odd on a metric only vehicle. BL did rather like unf threads.

yes they do fit just use the rubber bushes that r on the old shocks where they bolt up to the arch and where they bolt up to the axle u have to make a spacer or just gun them in
