Post by: GTi_James on 08 August 2012, 20:28

hey guys,

driving through works car park today i noticed that when i go over a speed bump, i get a sharp noise...almost like a coin dropping...for lack of a better sound discription  :lipsrsealed:

anyone else have this or am i in for new suspension kit?

good news then though i did ring the garage who has been servicing the car for the last 11yrs and they have no records of its shocks or springs being changed so i recon this is a good enough reason to get them swapped for coilovers?

you could have a broken coil spring, might be worth getting it looked at

they will be fine as long as you dont slam it with a car full of ppl and if you order them from dpm performance through uk-mkivs they are £150 delivered for exactly the same coils  :wink:
