NTC3 Front and Rear Shock lengths
 
I can't seem to find in the book where it states the shock length. Anyone know it offhand?

Thanks:confused:

redscrop, from memory it doesn't state a shock lenght in the kit manual just make sure they are all the exact same lenght or you'll tweak the chassis.:)

ok thanks!

Somewhere around 65mm, I think.

Best I could do on mine was 67mm. Any closer than that the shock shafts spun in the towel as I clamped them with pliers.

Thanks!:D

I use CRC CLICKER Shocks on my car they are alittle shorter, but work very well.

Just ordered new TC3 threaded shocks so I can give Boomer's back to him. :D

This thread is ancient, but just in case anyone else ever looks for an answer to this question: The eyelet-to-eyelet length of the NTC3 shocks is 59mm, and the total length is 68mm.

Shock length really depends on the shocktower you have in your ntc3: stock shocktowers need 65+mm shocks, modified short

It was the newest result on a Google search. I figured I'd just answer the question rather than starting a new thread.

I was referring to the lengths of the original shocks included with the kit. Custom modifications are obviously going to vary from one vehicle to the next.
