WANTED: Stiffer Shocks
« on: 24 March 2011, 11:28:38 »
Hi guys, sorry i havnt be around much, been following other interests at the moment (im South West area rep for UK-Modified)
A while back i bought myself some spax lowering springs for my '96 2.0 saloon. After all this time i have finally had enough of driving over a speed bump and either bouncing about like being sat in a tractor, or, in the case of the real nasty speed bumps, (more like pyramids and bumps) hearing a feeling a massive thud to the under side where the car bottoms out.
So im after some aftermarket or replacement shocks (both front and rear) that will stiffen the ride and hopefully stop all this bouncing about.

Anybody got any or know where i can get some?

kind regards,

Sean

I would get Bilstein B4's
iirc they self adjust to the level of your springs and offer a good ride.

Personally I have just swapped like for like on mine with Gen VX LSC shocks, but If I had known more about the B4's before hand I would have used those.

Got my rear B4's from Balance Motorsport.

Give them a ring for correct part number and mention OOF for a good price or my name for an increase! ;D
