I have some great news guys.

I bought some KYB Shocks part number 361005.

They are for a Volkswagen Golf (or Rabbit in america i beleive) , Mark 1 (or Mark I) 1975

They are 100mm shorter than the 120y/1200
my old 120y shocks were 38.25mm in OD
the golf shocks were 38.35mm in OD


I cut 100mm from my strut tube and my shock lock nut that screws in up the top of the strut holds the strut down perfect.
Probably could of cut another 10-20mm from the strut but then probably wont be able to fit any wheels haha.
there was also weld marks at the top of the shock that i had to slightly grind off so the shock could go all the way down into the strut tube.

i have attached a photo of my coilovers and the shock comparesson.

my coilovers are done and painted im in the middle of flipping my rear leafs right now, i wish i took a photo of the coilovers painted they looked really nice in a black finish :D

I will take the photos of my car when its on the ground so everyone can see how low it is going to be haha.

hopefully be on the road by tomorrow night ready for datsun day here in sydney on the 6th !

hope this helps some people.
