Andymac183 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 The time has finally come to replace my front shock absorbers as they've started leaking oil but my garage is saying they can't source OEM-like replacements ANYWHERE. Can anyone suggest a source for NEW replacement shockers? Any traders on here have anything in stock? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Your cheapest bet it's probably to get Bilstein or KYB aftermarket shocks, but get all 4. Best value for money, get some coilovers if you can stretch your budget a bit Quote
Andymac183 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 A nice thought but the budgets a bit tight...! Are the Bilstein/KYC shocks same as OEM ? And is it bad to just do the fronts, or will that affect the handling badly? Quote
Wizza2000 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I used Wanapart great customer service, they got me Sachs as just wanted oem replacements for time being Had front pair in stock and rears they shipped from Germany in 2-3 days at no extra cost , plus kept me informed via email at all times https://en-gb.facebook.com/wanapart/ Quote
