Somehow, despite giving suspension characte on id plate I ended up receiving wrong shocks from vendor. Upon discovery that I need the Nivomats i've decided to do the swap to standard shocks.

I need to know form others who have done it what I will need to order.
I have Sachs shocks now, what else do I need to order from FCP to do the swap?

The mounts on the Nivomat shocks look different than Sachs..Nivomats have T-Mount. Does this difference get sorted out with new shock mounts?

Do I specify that I need parts for same year and model, just not AWD or Turbo?

I saw a Brit kit that sold both upper and lower mounts to do the convert. Can locate lower mounts in N.America.....

Sage like guidance much appreciated!!!

Mike
