Title: Where to get shock absorbers from?
Post by: keano on November 11, 2010, 08:02:35 pm

Hi guys,

Looked on gsf and europarts but cant find the price for the shock absorbers for the edition 30. I've a feeling my left rear one is playing up abit.- Seems abit bouncier than normal.

Does anyone know where to source them?

Cheers

Dealer  :P

But seriously have you tried any scrap yards? Also is the suspension different to a normal GTi?

There was a full set of ED30 suspension on here dirt cheap last week.

Part no. is 1K0 513 029 GP

For just the Gas Filled Strut (assuming you need nothing else) it's about £60 according to ETKA but not sure how accurate that price is but it wont be far out.

That's for a 2007 GTi and it seems to be the same for 2006-2008.

What year is your car?

Koni FSD shock paired with either Eibach or H&R springs works well.
