What do you mean by coilover brackets?

 

what springs are you going to run?

 

what is the difference in open and closed lengths between the one designed for the frame and the Gaz ones? Gaz do more than one length.

They are standard height gaz shocks not the lowed ones.

When fitting coilovers you need brackets to replace std mini top mounts.

The std mini shocks hits the subframe allspeed advised spacing top mount out or fitting coilover brackets.

I am not fitting coilovers so just want to know if std shock work with coilover brackets as it needs to be spaced out to far to clear.

Thanks
