hm ok but how to maintain proper lower arm angle with lowered car for higher roll center then ?
interesting thing about ET ... will my spacer adaptors 35mm front
40 rear make handling worse? how to widen track ... with longer lower and uper A arms ,? or spacers will do fine ... thank you

not lower the car too much, or go reversed ball joint and 16" wheels.

Just try it. It depends on the ET of your wheels. For your front, wheel ET -35 will give the actual ET. The proper and expendive way is longer A-arm.

Ormar, what is the full number of theshocks that you bought?
Should look like B46-1175 or B46-0465?

Best images I have right now:

Ormar, these shocks is meant for the later cars using the "75"
chassis. That means the cars that use bumpstops that is integrated
with the dustshields on the shocks both front and rear. These
cars are 75, late GTV and late GTV6. You can also use them on
the older cars but then you have to add dustshields at both ends.

My car is '84. 2 litre GTV. Do you have any picture of those dustshields ? Can I use ones from my engine donor car ('90 75) ?
And, instalation without dustshields would result in ?

Tnx, OrMar

Ormar, you can use the parts from your donor
car, but you will then have double bumpstops, and that is not adwisable. So you can go either
way, keep your old bumpstops and get some dustshields for your shocks. Or go the "75" way and use those parts. You only have to remove the old ones at the same time. Then you have dustshields and bumpstops in one. Only be careful with the lenght of the bumpstops in the front if you lower the car, or you can get some peculiar wices in the roadholding.
