Suspension

[Rain]

looking at replacing my springs and shocks as mine are screwed but i dont want to pay a fortune on them can anyone recomend a decent budget set.

ive been looking at bilstein shocks but they come with ventura springs for ?190 or ?290 but i have no clue of the differnce between the 2 any help would be appreciated

I Have just repaced my suspension MK2 16v
Standard Gas shocks with Boge 35mm springs
Drives like a dream not to hard and bumpy but stiff enough to feel good into the corners.
?110.00 Shocks
?56.00 Springs

i had a set of those bilsteins as my first set of lowered springs and things, they were fine, did the job. nothing too amazing but for the price they seemed like the best on offer. a friend bought some of the viper shocks etc from venom but i wasn't too impressed.
but the boge set have a good reputation, you can buy the whole kit from german and swedish. i'd always buy shortened dampers as well just to be on the safe side.

CJ, do you have the part number for the springs? Where did you get them from? I'm looking for something similar.

cheers.
