Title: aftermarket shock absorbers..
Post by: jamie16v on 03 July 2009, 21:35
can anyone recommend a decent set of aftermarket shock absorbers for my mk4, already have the springs but the standard shocks just arent doing the job..
need to be affordable too and not coilovers..lol#
thanks, jamie.

as rhys has said but a worthy one to consider even tho you have springs is the jom set-up they are 40mm drop and are 30% stiffer/uprated springs with matched shocks and all 4 come in under £150 :afro: i have these myself and jonny has just got his fitted imo worth the money and ride handling is spot on  :wink:
