    I'm hoping that somebody out there has a catalog for both of these shock brands. I need the extended and compressed lengths of the following shocks:
    KONI 8040-1093 & 8040-1088
    KYB 343132, KG5506, KG5504, KG5548
    I already tried their websites but all they do is ask for make and model, no shock specifications available.
    I've lowered my '76 Century and I need a shorter than stock shock to keep the rear spring from falling out whenever you jack it up.
    If you have high performance shocks in the back and have the actual extended length that would help also. Part number and center to center of the mounts is what I need.
    Thanks, Mike

    Mike did you try and call them and ask for the tech dept. Usually there is someone around who can give you some real information.

    I have a set of 3-way adj. KONI's. Part#8040/1088
    Fully depressed 13". Fully extended 21 1/4" centered eye to eye.
    I used them on a 67 Special. For tire clearance and to have the rear of the car up so the 275/60's would not hit the wheelwell or make the shocks fully extend I used a pair of 2" extensions on the frame side. It fixed the problem I had. Yours is a little different.
