Title: Replacement Shock Absorbers
Post by: trackep on May 19, 2017, 02:09:40 pm

Hi. Got a few jobs creeping up on the car that need doing. One of them is four shockers. The car (ED30) is running eibach springs and poly front wishbones. I'm not wanting to spend a fortune so really just stock replacements. My question is apart from OEM ones from TPS are there any that are the same quality aftermarket. Also what gearbox oil should i run (manual) Thanks in advance for any input Adam.

Maybe consider the VWR sports dampers. Am using the Millers NT gear oil in mine but am also wondering if the OEM might be better, so I would recommend to go with the latter.
