Title: WTB ZZR or C14 Shock
Post by: Gitbox on April 15, 2014, 03:04:16 PM

For my C10. Present ZZR shock is leaking, but I'll take either.  :)

Will a C14 shock fit a C10?  The adjuster, which is part of the shock, is totally different.

Yes, it works. The adjuster mounting needs to be fabricated but it's not a big deal. The only issue is that the rear sits up a bit higher unless a lowering link is used but some are fine with the increased ride height.

You will need to drill out the upper bushing in the C14 shock to 12mm (if I remember the size correctly) to be able to use the stock C10 bolt.  Some have said they used the smaller C14 bolt in the upper mount without any issues. 

You will also need a different bushing in the lower mount.  The lower bushing needs to be the same diameter as the C10 but the bolt size needs to be 10mm which is the stock C14 lower shock mounting bolt.  Of course as stated above, you will need to fabricate some type of a mount for the adjuster.
