Hi all ,3 of the shocks on my cerb have slight leaks so am on the look out for some replacements and dont really want to pay to much for them to tell the truth.
So can anyone recomend a decent cheaper set or if anyone has a set for sale (would need to be in good condition). The car is only used for normal road driving so no need for hi spec stuff, Also have noticed that the front tyres are wearing quite badly on the inside edge is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

You've got a 180mph Supercar, even for road use the car needs decent shocks. Budget for round the £500 mark. Gaz/Protech/Racing Red. After you've got them fitted get the tracking, camber and toe-in set up. You'll find the car will be transformed.

I've got an old set of shocks and springs sitting in my garage if you want them? £20 for the lot plus postage.

Email me if you are interested.

Hi

If you've already got an aftermarket shock on there they can rebuilt by the supplier for about £15 / shock normally

I see what your saying but just meant that i didn't need full on race spec shocks,


Billy, Are they standard shocks you have?

I had some communication recently with a Cerb owner who said that the original shocks were from Blydenstein. Perhaps you could contact them for info ??

I think TVR Power has OE ones on the shelf, might be worth a try?
