Something tells me those KYB shox are not going to just bolt on, the dia. of the mounting bush looks too large??? maybe it's my eyes failing me ???

Those linkages look awesome. IMPI spent a lot of time setting those babies up
Armand is really making the Type 4 engine conversion accessible to all

Stunning work, love it!! Really cool!!
I have those shocks with the coil over springs on my buggy for when I tow my trailer for camping purposes. I've found that I need to "lower" my rear suspension a touch because the coil-over springs (even on their lowest setting) add stiffness and thus ride height. Maybe you'll find the same?
