Title: Springs and shocks
Post by: GSP1973 on October 05, 2015, 11:10:06 am

Interested to see the cost of replacing shocks and springs on each corner. The car still has stock ones on and they are 9 years old. Any advice on staying stock or going H&R etc etc. I've no interest in lowering TBH. I'm a bit old for that look! Cheers

Bilstein B12 kit. The Pro kit (if still available) has a minimal drop of around 15mm. It's a subtle effect to look at and is barley noticeable.
You are correct in thinking that yours at 9 years old won't be working at their best even if they pass an mot.
I think price will be in the order of £650'ish...but that's a guess.
