I use the Konis mentioned on the first page and my car sits much lower than a treet car would. I think Koni now calls them Koni Classics whereas before they were Special Ds.

Thanks for all the info, looks like im going to have to get off my ass and do some measuring. I will try and do it over the weekend and ill let you know what i come up with.

I'm surprised this isnt a more common issue as i didnt think my car was that low.

That brings up an interesting thought: If your coupe shocks are bottoming out, get factory-spec coupe shocks, they are shorter than some aftermarket shocks sold for the coupe. Best to first measure your existing shocks so you can ensure you are buying shorter ones.

That bottom one looks like a Rancho RS 5000 -- great shocks, I had them on my 5.0 Mustang.

Which PN fits a coupe?

Diahatsu Feroza first model uses the N43 also.

From the ARB catalog:
Feroza 300: N43 compressed length 295 mm
Feroza 310: N49 compressed length 271 mm
