shock

Hi, I recently encountered this odd problem with my mk2 2008 FR. My engine runs smoothly and suddenly starts to have a slight jiggling sensation, almost as if someone is pushing the accelerator pedal. After I turn off the engine, everything goes completely dark, as if the car experienced a...

Hi I recently just got my first car and I’m delighted with it but it came with Eibach sportlines uninstalled and it’s currently on cheap coilovers that need to be removed asap so my question is would the Eibach sportlines be okay with say bilstein b4 sport shocks ? I can’t afford the b8s or...

Hi all, A friend of mine is looking to upgrade the suspension on his 51-plate 227bhp Ibiza Cupra. It's currently sitting on Gmax shocks and springs and the ride is horrendous, very bouncy and jarring. As a result, he is looking at getting something with decent ride comfort, a bit of a drop and...

My Mk3 1.4s (Jan 200) has done 86k miles and is very bumpy and thumpy - gonna take it into see about replacing the shocks absorbers if it needs it. Some threads here talk about replacing top mounts at the same time as the shocks. Any ball park figures for basic shocks and top mounts folks...
