Bike Shocks?!?!?
Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question but can anyone tell me why a rear adjustable bike shock, 10mm bolt hole, 355mm eye to eye and rated with a 250lb wouldn't work on our cars? they exactly like the gaz ones?
Not that I have some lined up but the range of shock for bikes is immense and I'm sure I could track some down  I'm sure there is a logical reason why not but I would be keen to learn why  Cheers Rapid

I have an old white power shock from a ktm which is perfect in size and poundage, the only problem is it has an external gas cylinder which fouls the mounting brackets. Bike shocks are usually mega expensive also, i think i paid about 350 quid for that one,, hence why i kept it when i sold my bike.

If they fit no problem and they sometimes have bump and rebound adjustment,the external gas tank ones would suit pushrod suspension.

I know that in Poland people using 2003-2004 R6 shocks in theirs Locosts. They prefer R6 rather than R1... because of spring rating.  I plan to use bike shocks because they are cheaper - about 25GBP each.
