<VV> EM Rear Shocks

[Smitty Smith]

Smitty Says:  Eric there are no shocks presenty being made that are an actual fit for Earlie Rears.  Oh I know you can buy them from the vendors but they are the equivlent of OEM and do not offer enough control to suit me.  You can get front shocks in a heavy duty or gas variety for a 63 Corvette from the FLAPS.  Be aware they are 3/4 of an  inch too long and will let the control arm swing down enough to create a dangerous situation in a violent manuver.  (axle jacking).  Get the shocks and cut off 4 pieces of small pipe or tubing to make spacers between the bottom of the control arm and the shock cross pin.  You will also need 4 bolts 3/4" longer than the stock ones.  When mounted the bottom end of the shock will extend through the control arm a bit but not enough to look odd or cause a suspension problem.
