Let me know how those KG5413's work. I ordered a pair of those, as well as a pair of KG5512's to see which ones would be better for my '68 Imperial.
Zipped right on, like they should. I will have the wheels on tomorrow.
I am on to the front shocks today, plenty more work involved on the fronts. Torsion bar undone, popped the upper ball joint, disengaged sway bar, lowered lower control arm to release old shock, compressed and zip tied new shocks, having a break for the dog needing a walk, now a beverage and get back at it.
Shocks installed, everything bolted up. Took for a test drive, very nice improvement. No more bumper crashing dives or rear lifting in the air over road irregularities.
The longer KYB rear shocks KG5413 worked out as needed, allow enough drop for rear wheel re and re. Happy owner/driver here, good bang for the buck.
I hope the front shocks last, will be a pain getting them out with pressure in the shocks. another time.

Perfect and thanks for the information. I ordered the exact same shocks as you did for my '68 Imperial, including the rear 5413's...

Did the kg5413 work on the Imperial?
See post 25 above.
Shocks have been holding up great and are correct for the Imperial

I can also concur that the kg5413 works just fine on my '68 Imperial. I have been riding with them since this spring.
