New shocks and suspension

[matt uk]

Hi all,

I had my Mk1 up on a ramp early this week and it looks as though the shocks are leaking oil - I'm guessing the rubber gaitors have had it.

The car is not a daily driver and I do want to take it on track, but don't want to turn it into a bone shaker as it will be used as a bit of a tourer on sunny evenings.

So, if I'm thinking that if the shocks need doing I'm considering some new lower spings as well - at certain angles th car looks like it's on stilts.

So, what products would you suggest that won't break the bank?
Also, any other jobs worth while doing while this is being done?

Cheers,
Matt

Cheers Mark, I'll look into the Performance 5 puredrive system.

Jim, good call on the Monroe shocks - did you keep the springs the same or upgrade?

And all you others that have changed your suspension set ups what did you go for? I've started some research but would rather here what fellow PHers reccommend - if you google this subject it seems that every man and his dog can offer you something.

Cheers,
Matt
