    Default ms123 crown shock absorbers

    Hey there i am currently getting some lowered springs made up for my crown but when it comes to shocks everywhere i have asked don't have a listing for lowered shocks only standard height.

    Can anyone tell me of any manufacturers that make a lowered shock or if any other cars use the same suspension set up as the crown as there may be a listing for another car and not the crown.

    Let's start with, not only am I no expert but I do not own a crown.

    Then let's continue with, dig through the thread below

    http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/gen...e-has-one.html

    Second post is about a crown which has been lowered. Different model, but I suspect that if the details are not in the thread, some of the owners might throw you a bone.

    There is so much information buried here on a range of topics but it's worth digging for.

    I'd also suggest you you have chat with an established suspension joint. I was pleasantly surprised at the alternative options a knowledgeable man had to offer. I'll kepp following this thread as I hope it might spark some interesting conversation/information.

    Just get any performance shock (tokico, kyb, koni) for MX73 or MA61.
    They share the same rear suspension.

    What crUZida said for the rear.

    For the front. HQ holden front shocks are a perfect fit for the Crown. There's plenty of options for them. Also, depending on how low you are going lowered (shorter) shocks are not necessary.

    If you want to spend the bucks then go to a Koni specialist. They can do almost anything for you.

    Cheers,
    Shane.
