hi all

been looking at shocks at springs with a 45-60mm drop, seen loads of posts mentioning Bilstein and AVO they are obviously the good quality side the but has anyone fitted the ones they sell on eBay,

I have a 88 autohomes on. 185/65 r15

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 !

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.

lol someone knows Felixstowe, hit one of them bumps yesterday, ouch I need to remember I'm in a 32-year-old van now a 3-month-old company car

still needs to go down a bit though.

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
