Beetle Rear Coil Over Shock Absorbers (Also Link Pin and Bus Front Shock Absorbers) - 272mm To 423mm

Upgrade the stance and appearance of your air-cooled VW with this pair of budget coil over shock absorbers, ideal for custom and off-road applications such as Buggies, Bajas, and Trikes. Designed for visual impact and minor damping, these shocks are especially popular where the suspension components are exposed, offering a clean, aggressive look.

These shocks feature eyelet mounts on both the top and bottom, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of classic Volkswagen models. They are suitable for front and rear use on Beetles built before 1965, rear-only installation for Beetles from 1966 to 1979, and front and rear use on all years of the VW Bus, both Splitscreen and Baywindow. They are also compatible with the VW Karmann Ghia, Trekker, and custom Buggy conversions.

Each unit comes with a slightly adjustable lower spring mount, enabling basic ride height fine-tuning using the included C-spanner tool. However, it`s important to note that these coil overs are not load-bearing suspension shocks; they function purely as dampers. The spring is primarily for aesthetics and minimal preload—it is not engineered to carry the full weight of the vehicle.

The shocks have a fully extended length of 423mm and a compressed length of 272mm (measured without the spring fitted). This makes them highly versatile for custom setups and suspension tweaks. Depending on stock, these shocks are available in either black or white—please call ahead if a specific color is required.

Supplied as a pair, these are quality reproduction parts, made to bring both functionality and style to your classic VW.
