Could anyone with rear coilovers (on a Nova) tell me what the extended and closed lengths of the shock are?

I need to buy some rear coilovers but not sure of the size i need!


Cheers :)

I think standard are about 19 inches long. I've got 15's on the back of my grasstrack car but I know some who run as low as 13. These are open values sorry I dont know the closed lengths.

I've got some GAZ coilovers to go on mine,
Open length (from center of bolt hole to center of top mount) = 485mm / 19"
Closed length (Roughly) = 345mm / 13.5"

remember to strengthen your suspension tops thou.
nova shells aint designed to have the spring around the shocker.
and i also think you might need to adjust the inner arch to allow the coil over in the arch.
