Andymac183 Posted March 1, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 1, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymac183 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
