Mr B Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Seems those current KYBs are quite new the boots & bumps may be in very serviceable order, worth having a look as saves about £18. If shocks look right compare springs as should be obvious difference. Hope just springs as cheaper & job jobbed easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tall_tog Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 happy days ! garage just called to say the shocks on the car are the correct ones and are pretty new so no need to change, but the new springs are stiffer and about a coil longer than the ones on the car so it will definitely lift it up. They're working on it now will update finally once i pick it up and see what it looks like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
