Their racks look weird and out of place to me. Just my opinion though.

I couldn't find any normal ones like that on thier web site. That is a good looking rack there. I thought they only sold 3/4 racks and those ones that hang off the back.

Update... I got some shorter shocks from a 1954 barndoor. I had to press out the bushings out of the old shocks and put them in the new ones, no problem. Then I went to take it for a test drive and turns out the stock shocks were bottomed out and keeping the back up a little. Now it sits lower in the back and my 205/60-15s and rubbing on the inner fender. I pull the wheels off and take them to discount to get some 165/80-15s and they actually gave me my money back for the 205/60s. :shock: But.. they said they had them in stock but they did not so I need to wait until tomorrow until I can mount the wheels back with the 165s and see how it drives.

Here is a pic with the different shocks.

your a whole lot lower then me in the back, so those kyb's should work fine for me. BTW, I got the gr2 version of those barndoor shocks on the front of my rig, and boy are they stiff.

Should be a perfect match for you then. just the kettle I drove with the shorter shocks I am happy. Other than the rubbing it rode smooth.

I just ordered my seat covers from Wolfsburg West. I doubt I can have them on by the classic though. :cry:

Just finished the seat covers. I think they look good but don't really match the original door panels. I guess the sun changed the colors.
