What Rear Shocks to Use with BRP Shock Relocation

[meenaggie]

I found this after speaking with Shawn (I think) at BRP. He was very helpful.

Quoted from Phil at BRp from LS1tech: (also pictures at link)

Here is some pics of the kit on a first gen its similar the second like you have just a different length in the shock bar. I have both a weld in and a bolt in version of the shock bar as well

The mounting plates are cad coated and is a solid piece of steel that has been bent to specs for the strongest mount possible. Just Bolt on the new BRP shock plate just like the stock unit except it has the new mounting location for the lower shock mount and mounting tab for the 4th gen -98-02 E brake cable.

For the shocks use

11in retracted & 18in extended with a ½ in variance

We recommend the QA1 shocks part number 122-sts1578PXS. However any shock you choose this length will work as long as it’s the stated length

This gets you room more tires and disc brake calipers as well as reducing wheel hop

Just let me know if you or anyone else has any questions

Thanks
Phil
