Raider Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I don't but I would doubt it, especially at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I can confirm that's a no! Dolomite is a combined spring/shock unit front and rear, TR7 has a proper Macpherson strut at the front and the spring and shock are separate at the rear. TR7 rear shocks are the same as 2000/2.5 and Stag I believe, the fronts I think are unique. Worn shox can be cured by inserts though - you don't need the whole strut.RgdsMike!

Speedyblue Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have Stag strut inserts in the front of my TR7. Diameter wise, they fit, but length wise they are shorter. I had my strut tubes shortened to suit. Now I have less suspension droop when you jack the car up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fronts are also unique to the TR7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Just checked the Koni site, also different dampers for TR7 and 2000/2500/Stag ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmcecosse Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 They may be same dimensions - with different valving for the perceived different style/weight of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
