    Hey Guys,

    my dad drove around in my Wildcat today and since he is a retired KYB Dealer we wondered if there are shocks from KYB for this model and year on the US market. I found a few numbers on the internet but not sure which shocks are the right ones for my car. I am looking for the gas-a-just.
    Maybe the number KG4550 (Riviera) or KG4515 (Impala) will fit the front and 5508 (Electra) or 5507 (Impala) will fit the rear axle.
    Could someone help me out finding the right ones?

    Merry christmas to all of you!

    Found out that the rear 5508 (LeSabre and Electra) is slightly longer than the 5507 for Impalas. Maybe good for lowered cars then. The mounting seems to be the same. So maybe both versions will work at the Wildcat rear. Since i have HD rear springs the longer ones will be better for my car, I think.
    For the front axle the KG4550 (Riviera) is a bit shorter than the KG4515 (Impala). Mounting is the same on both.
