Compressed and uncompressed comparison with Datsun Coupe Competition Shock. The SAAB shock uncompressed about 40mm before I could take pic so I'd say they are oil/gas assist unlike the konis. They are about as firm as the konis are on mid setting.

SAAB 900 Front Shock 360 Uncompressed / 275 Compressed
Koni 1200 Coupe Comp 430 Uncompressed / 270 Compressed

I measured without rubbers on top so would have to add say 10mm to compressed figure.

coupe and ute are more or less the same, i think the U bolt plate mount may be slightly different......not that ive ever looked under my coupe

torago ones are good, nice and stiff and slightly shorter than 1200 ones

should also work in sedans utes and coupes, in the sedan you have to use a larger bolt and maybe make the shock mount tabs a bit bigger to accomodate

Yes the front saabs fit in the rear, they are about half the size of a standard shock, they are very firm, nearly as firm as the konis I have, Im not sure if they are oil or oil/gas assisted but should do the trick.

I'm gonna try finish musty's engine swap after work tonight so will be at the shed, will take some pics for you guys as a bit of a comparison.

EDIT; Dont coupe and utes bolt up the same, eyelet diff end and thread to the body?
