One pad I've used on my BJ and am VERY satisfied with are Bosch. They are available from Automotive Supplies Ltd, and last time I bought (last year) it was about $115. Very decent pad for that price - can't go wrong. Wink

Confirmed that the JDM back shock shorter.

Goin to get me 2 FU ones tomorrow.

Wanted the Tociko HPs but that will have to wait a few months and it make no sense gettin new shocks @ $570 each for just a few months use.

How you does know the difference between the JDM and the SDM shocks?

Strugglerzinc · Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 12:55 pm Post subject:

In my case, JDM shock body 1 1/2 inch shorter hence spring perch is lower and extended length is shorter. Same bolt up otherwise.

When i tell the man is for the SDM he say dont bother the back will drop Very Happy

OK fellas so if I were to install drop springs on my SDM would i have to get new shocks or would it depend on the springs I'm installing?

How much -ve camber should i keep when i align. The front has visible -ve camber at the moment but there's no issue even at high speed.
Are camber kits/bolts available locally?

Suggestions?
