Shocks and springs advice please?
Hi everyone, I think it's about time I replaced my suspension. I know that orc springs and konis are very popular bu, my budget won't stretch that far! I don't want a lift and I'd like to improve the road manners, although I think anything would be an improvement! Any advice on what to buy and where to buy it from would be great! Thanks Mud
I got sachs sportline for about £50each. They seem pretty good, quite firm though.
Best springs are Spidan but only available in Germany, through eBay, good choice of specs, did fit kyb unfortunately found standard far too prone to bottoming out.
I've got kyb on the rear, never bottomed out. They are on a lwb.
Cheap shit kyb springs and shocks are fine for my g wagon
Its done a few thousand hard miles with them on
I am no cheap skate so i opted for the premium dampers instead of the basic ones lol
Only a few pounds extra
I agree the merc parts are very very good and others too but i could buy many sets of kyb for the cost of others
Jason gds and myself, also adrian and the best off road guide on the planet(local but never picks up a map ) have done many green lanes and they still seem the same as when first fitted
At a guess 3 years ago and probably 30,000 miles
I rate them for quality and cost
