Hey guys im looking into geting shortened shocks for my cordia to reduce the harsh bumpyness it currently has.
I went to pedders to get a price and the guy told me they are very hard to get especially for the fornt.
Has anyone on here got shortened shocks in their cordia, and if so can they please tell me how much they payed and where they got them?
Cheers

Koni and KYB will do custom shocks but expect to pay through the nose. Rears probably aren't too hard, you could use a different shock with the same mountings, but the fronts would be really hard. Need to find something with the same mounts and spring seat as the cordia but a shorter body - I don't like your chances.

Shortened shocks will only help if you're bottoming the current ones out, you'll have to have lowered it quite a bit to do that... mine was lowered about 4" from factory (they were Kmac's "2.5inch" springs but I measured the roof height) and I was only just hitting the bump stops...

Im not sure how low mine is from factory as i didnt actually put the springs in but the bumpyness of this car is killing me.
Ive seen pics of yours and if im correct yours had 17's and looked pretty low, mine also has 17's but dosnt look as low as yours.
What sort of shock did you use?
