[kurkjones]

Hi all.
I've got a rev1 turbo that DOESNT have the bilstein shockers. Will inserts such as - http://www.mr2-ben.co.uk/products/view/ ... -1989-1999

Even though it states not for turbo?
Thanks.

I can't answer that but if you look at the top of the body of the shock and the there is a large but then yes . have a look at shocks on tcbparts

It depends what dampers you have fitted, some can be rebuilt with new inserts, others can't. Check yours to see if there's a large nut on top of the damper - the shiny nut can be seen on top of the black strut on this pic.



Once the nut is removed the outer and insert can be separated like this.



If there is no nut then they cannot be rebuilt and you'll need to replace the complete damper.
