What other model are they shared with ???

I know mine are standard DeCarbon with V6 GT Turbo printed on them, but what else is a direct replcement ????

Just thought I'd ask, as I want a set of lowering springs from David, but I want standard shocks.

Thanks

What do you mean what else is a direct replacement, brand or car?

The GTA struts arent shared with any other car, They use the 25/Espace front fitment where they screw in, but they are much shorter with a completely different spring mount.

Brand wise, Konis are a direct replacement, other than taking the cup off your old shocks and fitting them to the Konis. My coil over kit comes as a complete system with new cups etc...

There are no inserts available for the GTA, just the whole dampers.
