Re: eBay shocks and springs
Honestly , be really careful, cheap isn’t a very good idea with suspension ( or tyres) , too late realising this when you are roof down in a ditch , or worse !
Mr VW spent a lot of money getting the suspension right , joe chav knows diddly squat !

Re: eBay shocks and springs
My van had a set of those on it when i bought it.
Shocks where great but spings didnt properly fit the front lower arm seat and made a lot of noise when turning sharp.

I just didn't want to stick some lowering springs on the standard shocks, what springs did you have I was going to go 60/40,
what do you want for them? send me a message
