Last year I bought the vicky brit rear shock kit fog my BGT. I installed
it late in the year.
Yesterday I took my B out for a test spin, Lot of winter odds and ends
done. I hit the parkway and bang. The guy behind me is doging a shock.
Vicky brit modifyes regular shocks to fit. The weld they made
snaped.Limped home, Jacked rear and found the other shock split.Went to
NAPPA with numbers from the Guys on the list Monroe and Nappa, 2 long
and 2 short bolts
washers nuts ect. $ 40.00 US and a half hour later 75 on the parkway,
Needs some Toe in.
They are getting there $ 110.00 shock kit back . Kit contains 2 shocke 4
bolts 4 washers and 4 nuts. I didn't like the looks of the modifycations
they made and almost sent it back before I installed it, Should have .
