Shock Absorber Length

[Neville Heal]

Can someone please advise the compressed and extended length for front shock absorbers for a 356A.

Thanks

Neville,

Measured a new Koni and collapsed = 9-5/8" x 13-3/8" extended center-to-center hole.
Boge, KYB, & Bilstein should be similar. (Pre-A's are shorter)

Thanks for that Dick.

Is there a preference or case for gas charged verses oil filled shocks?

Regards

Neville,

Gas-filled shocks still have oil in them as there's not that much gas in them.
Nothing wrong w/regular shocks.
