Shocks

Postby wexlandshell » Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:44 pm

Hi All,

Quick Question for yez- i need the shocks in the front of my car changed but only d drivers side- i am going to buy a pair thou coz i dont think you can get dem individually but my question is (now pls dont think im dumb- i just dont have a clu about dis lark :oops: ) does it make a difference if the car is lowered and what would be the best make to get? The car is lowered on Apexi springs at the mo? I was looking at dese on Camskill- would that be the best option or is there a difference in the shocks as the car is lowered?

Those KYBs will do just fine, just swap in the lowering springs. Had a set on lhe last GPX. If I where you, I'd consider replacing the full set:

a decent mechanic wont take too long! one of the lads fitted new shocks and lowering springs in about hour and half! but thats cause we were lacking some tools and had to improvise! LOL
