Replacement shock absorbers
« on: August 16, 2012, 10:14:14 pm »
My car is currently running on eibach sportline springs and OEM shocks. Car has just done around 80K and I was thinking it may be time to replace the shocks and bump stops. 

Just wondering if it was worth changing them now considering the mileage and which ones I should go for. Looking for peoples experience on specific shocks, general recommendations, and where to buy from.

Cheers

I think Bilstein B12 gets great reviews.
Without traction power is nothing!

They look very nice, along with a hefty price tag.   :happy2:

Unfortunately I only budgeted for 'lemonade' rather than champagne.  Guess I will need item codes for stock OEM front and back shocks please....
