Best place to source front shocks and rear bushes for my GTI?
« on: March 03, 2010, 05:18:09 pm »
I may have to replace my front shocks as I was told the front left is leaking. I was also told that my rear wishbone bushing needs replacing, so where would be the best place for me to get these parts if I was to bring them to an indy mechanic to fit them?

Any online source? Or should I just order them from a local VW garage and bring parts out to my indy?

Cheaper - and ususally better - labour FTW!
