The rear shocks on an R33 are much longer than an R32. They won't even go close.

The front shocks are pretty much the same. They will basically fit, brake hose mounts are different though.

The front spring rate on an R33 is much higher than an R32 because the R33 weighs much more over the front axle. So the front shock valving will similarly be way too high for an R32

The rear spriong rate on an R33 is a little higher than an R32 because the R33 weighs a little more over the rear axle. So the rear shock valving will similarly be too high for an R32. Even if they did fit.

Botttom line, it's too hard/harsh for an R33 and it will be worse in an R32.
