Its an 80's 900, all 900's had the same front shock until the 90's where they went to a mcpherson strut.

I found it at upullit elizabeth, theres a few of them there, I just went for the granny spec looking car. They are short so you get a lot of travel for a lowered car, they are the same length uncompressed as my 1200 coupe koni's.

I'll take a pic for you and post it back up here.

Steer well away from gas only shocks (monroe, gabriel etc) as they have too much rebound and you will wheelspin and skip over bumps etc especially in a ute with the lighter rear end.

Kyb make some good cost effective shocks.

Also look at shocks from different cars, many will fit, Ive had bilsteins from a 320i bmw in my sedan, bit too long though, also SAAB front shocks in the rear as they are real short and work well also very high quality.
