Just wondering if anyone here knows if S13 rear shocks actually do fit on the J30. Mine are in desperate need of replacement and the OE parts are to expensive for me at this time. From the pictures I've seen they look exactly the same. Trying to be certain before ordering parts that I have no use for. Hoping one of you have already done this and know for sure. Thank you for any help.

I know it has been awhile since this was posted, but do those shocks made for other vehicles work ok? Were they able to give a good ride and were they within the range to work properly with the J30’s weight and J30’s coil springs.? Do they bolt right in, or do you need to modify suspension prices and switch things out like the way swim shark did his coil overs? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
