[Roadsters] Front and Rear Shock Replacement

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Steve,

Depends on what shocks you bought. The rears shouldn't be an issue, but the 
fronts might.  Stock front shocks were intended to be removed and installed 
through the hole in the lower support plate which bolts to the lower A-arms. 
Many replacements fit just fine.  Konis, however, require that the front 
suspension be partially dismantled to get the new shocks in -- unless you 
want to grind away part of the support plate -- which I did not.  Let me 
know whether yours fit through the hole, and, if so, you should be golden. 
If not, I'll send you the procedure I used.

Gary
