Kappa coupe - rear Shocks - How to....

Unread post by D24 »

Hi,

I have a 1998 2.0l 20v Turbo coupe - a wonderful car!

It needed a suspension change so after looking around I thought I was lucky to find new front and rears in the UK by KYB. A keen price so snapped them up and after a while had them fitted. Unfortunately they degraded very quickly - not bad on a mortorway cruise but acted like a jack in the box if I rode a bump!

I have found some second hand Kappa shocks with springs and have managed to change the fronts with little issue. However...!....the rears...how do I get to the top mount? Not doubt this will create a few sniggers, chortles and down right belly laughs but I am absolulty stumped!

Strpped the the boot covers and no access - not even a hint of a top mount bolt!

Do I have to remove the rear seat? if so how?

Considerations for the future:
Koni adjustables all round: no longer made as a kit but specialist can get hold of the drawings and make them up using inserts in the original struts.

The lottery option is a custom spec set similar to what has been provoided for the Integrale: special dampers, coil overs and assisting springs. then there is the fitting and set up..... over £2k!

So for the moment any information regarding access to the top mount would be most appreciated!

Lancia Meister Michael of Romerberg, Speyer found a set of rear shocks for our sagging kC, mounted them with new springs.

Hallo. Du musst den Rücksitz ausbauen. Die Abdeckung der Lautspecher und die Rolle des Sicherheitsgurt. Darunter ist die obere Befestigung der Stossdämpfer zu finden. Viel Spaß.

Gruß Kapparolo
