Default GDA shocks on a GC8

Anyone know if GDA shocks will fit on a GC8?

I understand that the GC8 strut tops will have to be put on the GDA shocks aswell as the GC8 springs...

Has anyone done this before??

heaps of times,

just file back the bolt holes on the rear GC strut mount to suit.

or takes 5 minutes with a dremel per side.

Thanks tuna

On another forum they said to chop the rear springs by 2cm, even with superlows to level it out, is this necessary ?
