Rear coilover mount issue
I'm trying to test fit new rear shocks and faced some problems. I don't know if these rear coilover shocks are wrong type from TRG, as I can not figure how lower part should be connected. These are upside down type shocks so upper part is connected with speciific mount kit and that's fine. But lower end can not be connected to trailing arm as std bolt is M14. Shocks have only 12.5mm eye so obviously standard bolt does not fit. Any ideas what to do? Should I have some specific hardware for lower section too?

I would ask them for a different lower mount.

You want safe, not quick or easy.

There is an entirely different bottom bolt and spacers used for mounting the shocks onto the trailing arms. Check with ER about it.

Thanks abisel! I will check with them unless TRG will not reply in coming week. ER has top notch parts and I'm actually using 22/29 bars, PB, QC camper plates, trailing arm bearings etc from them. These coilovers will be used on my 73 in future, I just wanted to test fit as I have engine/trans out from my 87.
I fully understand that this is really critical connection as its single bolt shock to trailing arm. As I'm not native English so maybe my writing was misleading. I have plenty of time to get correct safe parts. I just did not see solution on TRG/ER web pages hence asking here.

This is what you need.
FVD Brombacher Online Shop I have seen these at other places but can't find them now. FVD does have what you are looking for. |
