Was very happy when I replaced the Qa1(HAL) single adj rear shocks on the green stang with double adj Koni coil overs. The single adj shocks where a perfect fit in the mk8. I was going to try to make them coilovers but there is no room in a mk8 for that with shock in stock location. I will be making spring jackers so I can adj ride height out back. Of course I could not just pull out stock shocks and install new ones. LOL Top shock mounts where toast so I had to make those. To bad I don't have a water jet like some people. (nudge nudge wink wink)

I had to reduce the lower shock mount bolt to 1/2 from 14mm so made these sleeves, so no crazy slop.

Also needed to make these spacers to keep shock from hitting lower control arm.
