shocks

I had new springs (they are the right ones) for my tdi sport a good while ago, hoping they would lift the ride height to standard again, its still too low (see picture) so do you reckon its the shocks that are knackered?

Hi there, I am just about to get some Koni FSDs for my 2.0 TDI Ref Sport and was wondering if anyone knew what the diameter was? I was speakng to Andy from Awesome today and he said that you can get a 55 mm and a 50 mm kit for the Leon 1P. I am going to check this in the morning (if the snow...

ive just bought a toledo and im looking to lower it 50 or 60 mm but im looking shortened shocks with it and springs! does anyone know a company that does this?! all i can find is 35 mm drop alround on shortened shocks and springs! thanks!:D

Hi There, I need 2 new sets of regular shocks on my 01 toledo. I need to get it done soon but I have ne idea how much this should generally cost. I know very little about cars and prices etc so any help in what price I should expect to pay would be very helpful I dont think I'll be...

Hi all, I am after some advice... I need to replace the (very) worn shocks on my car, probably front and rear while I'm at it and wondered if anyone has used the KYB shocks mentioned in the title?? I have found them very cheap from www.buypartsby.co.uk (£25.78+VAT) for each gas strut...

quick question guys, i have a 54 reg Leon TDi with a dodgy front spring i think so need to replace it. in the for sale section there is a bloke selling a whole set of shocks and springs off a 2004 Leon FR so i need to know if they would fit straight on, and are they the same as my ordinary...

My Cupra has covered 45K & it sounds like the front shocks/springs are groaning & a bit clunky over bumps. Weighing up the options whether to replace with OEM shocks/springs or whether to get a "sports" suspension kit. The Koni kits seem good value but I want to keep it simple & don't feel...

just a quick question about suspension.... i run a completley standard ovni cupra R and recently had alot of ride problems, so thinking towards springs and shocks, how long roughly is the life of both?

<< Scroll down for pedal box replacement step-by-step >> Edition 38 2008 pics on page 3 Suspension change finished - p7 Well, I've had my Ibiza for a year (give or take a few days), and I've never put it all together in one place. So, at the 12 month point (and with exams looming), I...

One of my rear dampers are broken. I'm thinking of keeping the car original, and want to change both the rear dampers. The car is a 2003 LCR with 85000km. Should I buy new front dampers and all of the springs too?

hey folks, as the title suggests, does anyone know where i can get a set of shortened rear shocks for my 1.2? iv tried the search function but had no joy :( cheers neal

right, i'm pretty sure my shocks are on the way out, the car feels more rolly than i remember and just not as sharp in general. its 7 years old, so i'm guessing they haven't done too badly now i know the toledo has a pretty soft setup, so going for oem parts probably wont help a great deal...

I already have a set of Eibach Pro lowering Springs fitted to my Ibiza. However I would now like to replace the factory shock absorbers with a set of aftermarket items, that will work well with the Springs. Is it possible to buy Shock Absorbers that are fully adjustable, so that the ride...

Hello Seat Lovers. I have sitting on my drive a lovely blue P reg Cordoba 1.9 GLX hatch that needs rear shocks for it's MOT. Seem to be a bit like hen's teeth. :( Colchester dealer says he needs chassis No. b4 he can give me price. Where is chassis no on this little beauty? On VIN plate...

Hi everyone, I'm finding it hard to live with the firm ride of my FR TDI (with 18" alloys), and was wondering whether anyone had successfully softened the ride? I've seen Koni FSD (?) shock absorbers mentioned in a number of threads, but I'm concerned that they may still be too firm. Daft...

Hello All I have a ibiza 1.4 at the moment and am just about to purchase for cupra suspension shocks and springs. (apparently these ride a little lower and a little firmer than stock) i dont have money for aftermarket coilovers etc, and im picking up these shocks and springs for 60 delivered...

Hi Guys Does anyone know the part code for new shocks from Seat for a MkIII Cupra?:shrug:

I have searched the forums but cant get a definitive answer for this. Do coilovers offer a more comfortable ride than shocks? Now I realize that different shocks will give different ride qualities; the shocks/springs I was considering was Eibach. Any opinions on ride quality compared to...

Anyone running this set-up on their Cupra? As I'm seriously considering the JKM offer

right guys, ive brought some koni springs which lower the car 30mm but i never got the shocks at the time as i didnt realise how much they were needed. now i realise i would like to buy some, however the koni shocks are 350 quid, does anybody know of any other good brands at a reasonable...
