I have numbers, but I can't find them in this country. The part numbers are for a Vauxhall Chevette but should fit my US cars just fine. I hope. Anyway none of the usual websites have the numbers in their system. Before I start calling people on Monday I figured I'd ask here.
Bilstein: F=24-633369, R=24-009188
Koni: F=82-1886SPORT, R=80-1997SPORT
I seem to remember someone mentioning in a thread they "knew a guy" for one of those brands but of course I can't find it.
Thanks
Classicgarage.com has Koni rears and KYB fronts.
A guy named Lee (crxlee on here I think) works for Koni and might be able to help. He's from the Lexington area.
Yes call Koni and speak with Lee. He has helped me on several occasions. Great guy.
Lee Grimes is your man...

Pretty sure that the Vauxhall has the front shock attached to the lower arm like the Fiero instead of the upper like the Chevette, so I wouldn't count on that being the same.
Are Isuzu I-mark shocks the same? If so maybe something for the Holden version in Australia might work.
I have a 1983 Monroe shock absorber catalog, I looked through it to see what cross references I could find; the only car that matches for both front and rear shocks is the Pontiac T1000, but of course that was basically the same as a Chevette. There were no other cross references for the front shocks, but a surprising number of cars were listed as the same for the rear shocks:
1968-1974 AMC Javelin
1959-1960 Buick
1968-1969 Buick Sportwagon
1949-1954 Chevrolet
1967-1971 Datsun 2000 sedan
1965-1982 Ford full size
1983 Ford Crown Victoria
1978-1983 Ford Fairmont
1979-1983 Ford Mustang
1967-1971 Ford Thunderbird
1970-1981 Lincoln Continental
1970-1981 Mercury Marquis
1978-1983 Mercury Zephyr
1974-1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
1977-1982 Toyota Corolla
Of course there may be newer cars that use the same front or rear shocks but the catalog only goes up to 1983.
I ordered yellows for an Opel Gt and run them on my Impulse, should fit the same on your 'vette. the rear is the same number you posted but try 80-1580 up front.
got them through shox.com and had to wait for them to get here from across the pond. I believe opelgtsource.com stocks them but the price is considerably higher.
