The new £300 Quid Rear Shocks ( wish i could name them and the totally uninterested supplier ) that I fitted last year are completly wrong for the car. I have to send them Back to the factory for " Examination " to see if i am eligible for a refund... What a joke

I urgently need the loan of a pair of shocks to keep the Griff useable/ moveable anyone have any ?

I can't help with the rear shocks, but

Interestingly you recommended him a year ago as being very helpful when you aquired your new shocks.

How come it's taken a year to decide that they are wrong for the car ???? I would of thaught you would of aquired a pair of shocks that have been valaved and tested to suit the car...... also has the car been set-up properly as well, as this makes a massive difference.

My car was skipping all over the place, not going round corners properly I thaught it was time for new shocks (mine being 6 years old now) BUT after a few tweaks by someone who knew what they were doing and the car handles fantastically.

Don't get me wrong I am not siding with any party, I'm just trying to get an understanding of what the problem is.

He was Very Helpfull taking my hard earned, but as soon as I complained, no interest what so ever !! Gave them a few miles to bed in , but Compression and rebound are completely wrong, its all over the place on bumps , Very very floaty and very unstable , the ruddy thing is dangerous to drive with these fitted and i want my dough back !!



Fitted a pair of Nitrons to the front a few weeks ago and they are fine.

Thanks re rear shocks, will message you !!
