Does anyone have the sizes of shocker for standard chassis with talon mx5 suspension arms ?
I've got some that are for the mx5 Haynes but the rears seem short and make the arms aren't level but point up , I know I can adjust the height but not this much 😳
Thought the best thing to do was ask 👍

Hi rolsty

I think they are 13 inches centre to centre I kneed to get a pair for rear of mine so I guess we will find out soon what others have used

The Talon mx5 rear arms use 14" front and rears I believe IF using the talon differential cover. The Saturn Sports Cars rear MX5 arms use 12" rears.

Ah thank you , trip back to protech needed then, good job he'a good to deal with :)
So with standard chassis and talon arms and diff cover it's 13" front and 14" rear then- which phil at Talon has just confirmed 👍 Got to say top marks to phil , he didn't need to reply tonight 👍👍

I got talons arms fitted front and rear and was told to get 14" shocks which fit perfect

Some go for 14" fronts for mx5 builds. I forget why, there's a discussion on here somewhere.
