Title: z shocks
Post by: zaT on July 12, 2014, 08:01:52 AM
hi guys...used the search but couldnt find anything about it.
has anyone ever tried ltz 400 shocks?they r 2cm longer but they fit without any work.
with the original the frame was exact equal in front and back in the high.so the optimal is the back is a bit lower...right?
i mounted them and if u look from the side the frame has the perfect high ratio now.i just wonder why i couldnt find anything about it here.
hope u can understand but my english hits me bad sometimes :p

Hopefully they ride better than those 25+ year old stockers.
