Uprated Rear Shocks ??
« on: 16 March 2011, 21:09 »
Hi Peps

Oks i have some Cheap Ebay Jamex coilovers on my Golf and the fronts are fine not had a problem with them but the rear shocks are crap so i was wondering if you can just buy uprated rear shocks which are stiffer or adjustable as when i go oveer speed bumps or have people in the back it can rub and as i like driving and i am social want to sort this, i am going to get these at some point as well which should help a bit

http://www.dcp-shop.co.uk/buy-car-accessories/product_info.php?products_id=7270

and a rear anti role bar to stiffen it up a bit so doesn't role as much.

Thanks in advance.

P.s the golf is on a budget till i get a new job were they pay me a proper wage so Cheap Cheap Cheap lol  :undecided:

to be honest mate your better off just saving and getting a new complete set of coilies, those things in the link look well dodgy!!!

i had a set of jom front coilies and wanted upgrade my rears, betime i spent on rear shocks and springs and adjusters i wasnt that far off a new complete set, i have these and for the money they are great

Have you used them personally? I had Biltein shocks with Eibach springs from an Alpina B3 on my E36 and they were fantastic. Are they as good on a golf?

so the only real option is try different shocks are the  FK-AK Street rears shocks a lot stiffer then ?
