Leaky shock & suspension stuff

[missymckay]

Hi Guys/Girls

I'm just after some advice on shocks and other bits. I had my car serviced today and one of my front shocks is leaking, a rear coil spring has broken and the bushes are split. I can just have those parts replaced but I am thinking that it would probably be best to have a kit and have it all upgraded.

Any advice would be appreciated and also advice on the anti lift kit cos i have no idea what it does

3 broad options.

If some comfort is important you can get new oem shocks and lowering spring kit.

Or as above but use uprated shocks like bilstein B12s usually combined with Eibach sportline springs is commonly done with good results.

Lastly coilovers all round. Set your ride height whenever it takes your fancy but this is usually the stiffest setup and not everyones cuppa. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks, with regards to rear bushes, would I need those done at the same time or could i leave those and just get the front ones done?

Depending on mileage may well be worth replacing them..

When you get the old suspension off inspect them, if they are loose/perished etc then replace..

Guess if moneys no object be good policy to change them over anyway and wont need to worry in the knowledge they are new

They need doing all round but money is a bit of an issue so may just get the front ones done and then the rear ones later on
