Hi All,
I work for Suspension Stuff and am going to make a set of rear Mono Tube shocks for my 1600. Without removing my shocks first I was wondering if anyone has the open and closed lengths of the shocks? may take a while to get the valving right and I have 3 different Piston designs to play with but hopefully should be able to do something better than whats on the market currently thats for sure. This is for a lowered 1600 with high HP (200+) I am hoping to reduce body roll improve ride quality and give maximum traction. As its on a lowered Datsun should I reduce the overall height of the shock or leave it as it is?

Cheers Steve.

Call a spare parts place and ask them to look it up in the back of their Monroe catalog. From memory 1600 & 180B are the same. They may not be in the current catalog but a good place will still have it in an old one.
Stock open length should be fine- there's no need to reduce the suspension droop and unless you're changing the bump stops you won't need shorter shocker bodies.
Cheers!

Sweet as, found an old Monroe Catalog here so have the info now.
Open: 599
Closed: 348
Now to get building and testing.
Cheers Steve.

You can also call the Monroe technical help line and get this info if you dont have access to a catalogue...
