Hi all,
I have read somewhere on a suzuki forum that commodore shocks fit into the rear of XL7's.
Firstly is this true??
Secondly, therefore would a set of pump up/air shox fit and be able to be used for a bit firmer ride and control when loaded/towing??
I have (as previously posted) a fairly stock 2005 XL7 which has an ECB allyo bull bar hanging off the front. I am looking to put in some spring spacers into the front to level it up a bit and have found that under load or when towing the rear tends to sag and/or get bouncy. I want to fix these issues without too much expense or mods as the car is driven by my better half most of the time and she is not interested in doing too much to her much loved zuk.
All advice/ opinions appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
Cheers
Haycait

I have noticed that nothing I never said ever did me harm
Commodore shocks are way too soft and nowhere near durable enough for your application.
They are usually used for budget type builds because they can be bough much cheaper than 4x4 shocks.
They are over length too so typically you will have to lower the bumpstops and capture your coils or else they will fall out.
Shocks and shock mounts are not intended to carry out the job of springs. "pump up" shocks will ultimately have a short life and possibly fatigue the mounts.
Spend the money on OME product. It will be far better than band aid solutions.
