Title: Shocks and springs Advise needed GT170 TDi
Post by: daz5182 on October 14, 2011, 02:38:25 pm

Want to lower the car.

Shocks are leaking so going to get a shock and spring set as i've been told they are more comfortable that coilovers.  I'm not that bothered about adjustability either.

What do you recommend, cost is a big factor, i don't want to spend more than 500 for the suspension including fitting.  They must be lower but not super low and must give a good ride.

Anyone got anything that they are impressed with?

Any thoughts welcome

Daz

Koni FSD's are suppose to be the shiz but that's most of your budget gone :confused: the only other thing would be finding either some nearly new shocks from eBay or scouring the t'internet for a shock/spring package?

Try the usual places

Yeah been in touch with some and I've been recommended some but want to know what others have tried. Did you say you had some shocks Daz?

I have the rears mate, you would just need to find the fronts, speak to Andy(Maxitrol) on the forum he has a low mileage Gt and I know he has/had the full shocks and springs see if you can pry them from him.
