Rear Shox

[ketvrin]

Anyone know if a pair of '99 Chim rear shocks (springs and dampers) marked Eibach 39/98 TVR D0103 would fit my S3 ?

The rear suspension layout is completely different so there's no reason to expect them to fit, but if you want to find out for sure you will need to know the damper length fully open and fully closed, check the end fittings are the same (I think you will be OK there but do check) and check that the spring seats are correct for your existing springs (or plan to buy new springs to go with them).

Fraid not mate, they are 25mm too long when open.
Chim fronts would fit though but you might need to swap springs.
