Shocks and springs Advise needed GT170 TDi
« on: October 14, 2011, 02:38:25 pm »
Want to lower the car.

Shocks are leaking so going to get a shock and spring set as i've been told they are more comfortable that coilovers.  I'm not that bothered about adjustability either.

What do you recommend, cost is a big factor, i don't want to spend more than 500 for the suspension including fitting.  They must be lower but not super low and must give a good ride.

Anyone got anything that they are impressed with?

Any thoughts welcome

Daz

Koni FSD's are suppose to be the shiz but that's most of your budget gone :confused: the only other thing would be finding either some nearly new shocks from eBay or scouring the t'internet for a shock/spring package?

Try the usual places

DemonTweeks

To name a few

I have the rears mate, you would just need to find the fronts, speak to Andy(Maxitrol) on the forum he has a low mileage Gt and I know he has/had the full shocks and springs see if you can pry them from him.
