Hey Guys,

in an attempt to keep the Mark II going i need to replace the front shock cartridges asap.

They are a simple strut type :

The issue is that i need a short stroke style cartridge.

The length of cartridge (black section) needed is 300mm long or (303mm MAX!)
Also diameter of the cartridge being 50mm or under.

I have had a look into SW20/ST185 and they are the closest ive found.
SW20 = 360mm
ST185 = 345mm


Does anyone know how to obain a Gabriel/Monroe/KYB product spec PDF or similar so i can do some more research .. as they are impossible to find on the official sites.

I would even go Nissan if i new anything about them. And if any of you do ? please help me!

cheers
John.
