Hello, first time poster. This is my first seat (cupra 300 2018) and dealership have told me my front shocks are starting to leak and need replacing and also front and rear discs and pads...at an expensive sum...
I did some googling and saw that a) the front shocks are known to mist and not be of too much concern and b) dealerships can try it on lol. So I'm initially getting a 2nd opinion before anything else.
Dealer also said that there aren't currently any replacement shocks available anywhere in Europe so would be more to order. More Google and I see Monroe do a product for DCC suspension if I recall correctly.
Really, I'm looking for:
1) the best aftermarket solution IF I need new shocks.
2) I'm now tempted to get it lowered at the same time...so advice there too.
3) if the discs and pads need doing, what good options are out there so as to not totally skint me?
I realise its a performance car, I've had performance cars for as long as I remember and I don't want to diminish its fun and value but I also don't want to skint myself for something I might not even see any improvement or benefit on.
Thanks.
