Title: Shocks
Post by: Pearce69 on 30 August 2010, 11:19

Hey all

I lowered my car yersterday to find both of my rear shocks are F****D. Basicly u can push them down and they dont come back up, and also both bump stops were completely perished. Iv bin looking at some shocks on deamon tweeks. I dont want to spend a great deal as im on a budget atm. Iv seen both of these, are they any good.

Shocks don't normally come back up (unless I'm missing something), it is the spring which controls return.

Can't comment on the above, I've had Hottunning crappers on my car for 3 years and after the first 6 months - my spine regrets every second of them :(

Best asking demon tweeks if they come with bump stops - as it varies from brand to brand.

If on a budget try GSF for Boge Turbo Shocks...

BUT Only Buy New VW Bumpstops... IMHO
