I'd be happy to help, but don't have any spare shocks at present. Sometime next week i will have some with lowering springs that I can measure, or a week or two later I'll get them swapped so can measure the standard oem ones that I take off.

I have a set of standard shocks with eibach lowering springs in the shed that I can measure for you at the weekend, if that will help?

@wurlycorner would you manage to find them and measure?

Well done for the reminder!

I'll be going out to the shed shortly, when I unpack the mugen coolness and move them into their temporary home, so I'll get the measurements then and report back

@Andreika609
1 - 115mm (distance between bolt centres)
2 - 630mm (distance from top of top plate, to very bottom of lower bracket)
3 - 450mm (distance from top of top plate, to very bottom of the end of the shock - there's a slight metal dimple on the bottom of mine, in the centre and it's measured to that)

That's oem 4th gen shocks with eibach lowering springs.
