give them a measure i just put bmw 318 rear shocks in the back of mine . std escudo ones are 310mm compressed 470 mm open , thats going from middle of hole to where it sits on the rubber at the top, mine must be about 570mm open , and the std spring is loose but not falling out . cheers vaughan

yea they do fit and they are good for a little more travel....but if you like comfort your better to go for something out of a lighter car...ive got dx corolla ones in the back of mine and there nice and soft, the commowhore ones are a bit hard, but if you dont give a shit yep go for it :lol:
