What sort of brand of short shocker do I need to buy. Does Anybody have some the want to part with for my 1970 beetle. It currently has selector drops and the front end is sitting on the bumper stoppers in the original shockers. Please Help Me!:cry

I have Cofap gas in mine - it's possible to cut down the bump rubber (it's part of the shock, but external, IYKWIM) by a coupel of inches. Works on mine - but mine is set up for handling, not super-dooper-silly low

i agree with the dancing grover, essentially you get what you pay for. unless you can snag a really great 2nd hand deal.

if its for a 1500 bug i used toyota hiace front shocks,same ring and pin,they are short great for that lowered beam,,,but no bump stop on them,,easy to find at the wrecker,,
also torana etc but is hard to cut the steel pin out of the bottom,,,
good luck....
