Product Description

EMPI's lowered shocks for Type 1 models with link pin front end come painted bright white and are sold individually. This gas-filled shock is 11 1/8" long in the fully closed position and 14 5/8" at full open. The shock fits 1954 to 1965 Beetle and 1956 to 1965 Karmann Ghia models (with link pin front end). Lowered shocks provide a different range of travel than stock shocks, which helps to eliminate bottoming out. Gas shocks compress more rapidly than oil-filled shocks, which makes them more responsive to changes in road conditions, providing better contact with the ground and more stable handling. Gas shocks perform better in racing or off-road applications, but tend to have a stiffer ride than the stock oil-filled option.

Shock Absorber Fitment:

Front
Stock Height - Stock Shock
Lowered with Drop Spindles - Stock Shock
Lowered more than 3 inches with Adjustable Beam - Lowered Shock

Rear
The stock length rear shock absorber will work for nearly all lowered rear applications.

Helpful Hints

When installing a new shock absorber on the front of your VW, make sure that the old shock sleeve is removed. The bolt that the shock absorber bolts to IS NOT a shouldered bolt. The shaft of the bolt has roughly the same outer diameter of the threaded area. If the old shock sleeve is rusted in place, use a pair of vice grips to break it free and remove it.

Shipping

Our shipping policy is as follows:
We ONLY ship within the United States and its territories.

Orders over $100 will receive free shipping within the continental United States. Freight on orders between $50 and $100 will be $9.95, and freight on orders between $0 and $49.99 will be $7.50. Large packages ship FedEx. Smaller packages ship US Priority Mail. Delivery time averages 1-5 business days depending on your distance from Southern California.

**Oversized products will be excluded from this policy. Shipping rates on oversized items will be calculated separately. The cost of oversized items will be applied to the total order and shipping on your other items will be calculated accordingly. Oversized items will be clearly labeled on the website and will include a drop down menu to estimate your cost of shipping.

Most orders to Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico and other US territories are shipped by the US Postal Service. The shipping costs for these orders are billed at the time of shipping.

For expedited shipping, you must call us. All express orders are personally handled by the representative you speak with in order to streamline the process. Please do not request express shipping via email. Emails are reviewed in the order they are received which could possibly delay your shipping.

Shipping on any returns is the customer's responsibility. If your order qualified for free shipping and a returned item reduces your order below the $100, you will be charged the according shipping cost for the order.
