hey all,

iv just been looking on the gmax website for some rear shocks and i don't know what ones would go best with my 60mm springs. all of the shocks have different numbers at the end (50 VA 12r) or (50 VA 09r)...? i mean whats the difference lol is one shorter than the other or something? i might not even get gmax, i just want to know what the codes mean and what would suit my 60mm springs?

heres a link if it helps....

If you read it properly, all the Corsa B (93-00) ones have the same part number, 50 VA 12R.

The 50 VA 09R you mentioned fits a Cavalier or Calibra, as it mentions ''does not fit 4x4''.

If you want Gmax ones made specifically for the Corsa B, there is only one option. However, if you want Gmax at all is a different question entirely...

I agree, they are very crashy and bouncy. With 60mm springs you'll want a decent shocker.
