Difference between KYB-G2's 1983'86 and 1986/89 part#'s

[DJ_NoVa]

As the topic says
just wondering if there is a difference between the part numbers
KYB has on front shock inserts.
the rears are the same numbers,
however the fronts that i need having a 1984 are #365029
and the 1986/89 states #365060
these are the G2's, i'm talking bout.
So if any one knows would be a great help in understand what inserts i should be getting...

well i can see it's gatehred intrest,
but either no one knows or not worth replying....
bascially i found cheap shocks including shipping to australia for a compelte set and trying to see if they can do a bulk order but was wondering if any one knew this info before i ask on the forum so if anyone wanted new shocks we could grab them,
but coz most starions here finish round the 86' year is it worth chasing these coz we own 82's til 86's..... thats all...
cheers,

I know that one of the forum members (bmai) got a set off ebay from the US (either the KYB's or the Tokico's) and they were fine. I am not 100% sure on this as it was a while ago and he hasn't been around for ages.

Perhaps ask on the US forums to comfirm as they have both widebody and narrow bodies.

Call KYB, they would know exactly the dimensional/technical differences between the two part no's or even be able to look at both and spot and real differences for you, no point second guessing by asking here.

By the way, how much for a set shipped here?

[DJ_NoVa]

so far i got him to under 500$ shipped in boxes for one set, so i'm trying to do more bout lowering, have asked on us sites not to helpful over there...
just thought someone here might have gone through this before thats all,
i remrember that guy buying some, but your right hasn't been round for a while...
i'll have to end up calling if no one else comes out of wood work and knows the answer, i just can't see the difference got a jb and ja here one 84 one 86 and i had to swap shocks coz of wear, and no diff what so ever, thats why i'm stuck on why KYB have listed too different numbers for the fronts for different year cars...

[NXTIME]

One is for the widebody, one is for the narrow. But it excludes those with the adjustable suspension, so who knows? Under $500 delivered is a very good price.

[DJ_NoVa]

well i knew that much thing is will those struts fit, the narrow bodies....
yes price is very good...
so you can see why im trying to wrk fast...

Anyone know the answer to this????
The part number on the box I bought from OScar is #365060

hi

you needed part number: #365029 to suit narrow body.
I don't know for sure the difference between them but my guess is that the 365060 are a bit longer to allow the wheel to be further out in the flaired arches of the widey, this would explain your discovery that they are a bit long for your car.
