Rear shock mount
Discussion
Hey guys,
So, I was putting h&r lowering springs on my audi a3 8l and on top of that I changed front strunt mounts and rear spring mounts. Now, to make it even more refreshed Im thinking to change rear SHOCK mounts, but as I was reading around, people were saying I shouldnt change it if don't change the shock. Anyways, should I ? Im sure the part is still oem and the car has 190k km.
Thank you !

Yeah, you guys are right, I know.. :/ All what I have done for now makes a good difference too, car is stiffer where it has to be stiffer and it takes some bumps even softer than before. Anyways, shocks would be most expensive, that is why im thinking going around them and changing everything what holds them..
Thanks for all those replies !
Okay, maybe I did go all the way around when I shouldn't. Maybe I had to start with all the bushings and then think about lowering it. Point is, I'm kind of experimenting, car is old, 19 year old to be exact. H&R springs didn't really lower it too much, there are still big enough gaps between wheel and arches. Like I mentioned before, the ride quality is better, so I'm happy with this upgrade. Of course, buying some new shocks would be wonderful and to be honest I want to start saving some money for those. The old ones are holding, not bouncing around, so still good to go for some time..Maybe ?
To be honest, lowered the car for better looks and for a bit sportier feeling when driving, at the same time, I want to change all the bushing in the suspension area so parts could keep up with this upgrade. I won't achieve this immediately tho :/ So yeah, gonna change some bushing here and there over time.
The main reason I asked about shock mounts, because people were saying "oh you can reuse the old ones" like they are not something that wears out or makes any difference when changed.
