Shocks

by mutz_nutz » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:13 pm

i have lowered my calibra 35mm on PI springs in april cash was tight due 2 just having bought the car, but now as i expected the shocks need replacing, i know i should have done shocks an springs at the same time but didnt lol

i have looked around but not quite sure what 2 do

1. is put <!--coloro:#330066--><span style="color:#330066"><!--/coloro-->Bilstein shocks on with the PI springs costs £192 for the shocks <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
<!--coloro:#330066--><span style="color:#330066"><!--/coloro-->2. is put Spax shocks on with the PI springs costs £196 for the shocks <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
<!--coloro:#330066--><span style="color:#330066"><!--/coloro-->3. buy G-Max springs an shocks which costs £220<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
<!--coloro:#330066--><span style="color:#330066"><!--/coloro-->[/color]
<!--coloro:#330066--><span style="color:#330066"><!--/coloro-->any advice on which would be the best 2 do would be more than welcome <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
<!--coloro:#330066--><span style="color:#330066"><!--/coloro--><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
[color=#330066]Cheers <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

have Bilstein myself (though a full kit) geart road holding but you suffer more of an uncomfortable ride as they are VERY stiff

Spax not bad and might be better suited to your PI springs
