New Shocks :D

first of all its Ramadhan meaning fasting month and i'd like to wish happy fasting to all the muslims who read this. may this Ramadhan be better and prosperous than the previous one. for few years i've been driving around in my KP without front shocks absorbers and all the undercarrage suspension bushing were worn out really bad which cause my car to sound like its gonna break apart each time i take a hit on uneven roads or bumps. i tried searching for KP OEM front shocks around but i ddnt manage to find any. i know they are sold somewhere here in malaysia i just hvnt found it yet. i got tired of searching and i did some research and found out that KP61 and AE82 shocks absorber has the same diameter but abit different in lengths which makes the AE82 shocks much shorter than KP61. here's some photo.
the shorter absorber is the AE82 and the other one is the KP61 shocks

since the AE82 shocks is much shorter so I placed a metal spacer for it to fit nicely inside the KP61 suspension struts. actually the metal spacer suppose to be custom but due to tight budget i bought 3/4 inch galvanized steel pipe joints as and used them as spacers so that AE82 shocks would fit.

so this is what it looks like after fitting AE82 shocks into KP61 struts.

Dimensions of both shocks :
AE82 Shocks
Length 1: 494 mm
Length 2: 336 mm
Diameter : 38mm

KP61 shocks
Length 1: 575 mm
Length 2: 376 mm
Diameter : 38mm
so to those who needed new front shocks for KP61 and fail to find it as i do this is the easiest solution and it only cost me rm160+ :D
