Suspension Advice, Eibachs sportlines?

[shanedavison28]

Need a bit of advice as I know nothing about suspension. If I get eibach sportlines for my dCi they are only £150 but will I need to get upgraded shock absorbers as well? Because on europerformancedirect.co.uk they are £423 for eibach shocks the go with the sportlines. Are there different shocks I can get to go with the sportlines that will fit that are cheaper of should I pay the £423?

Also whats the deal with the top mounts?

Sportlines are just springs to use with oem shocks.

I need new shocks as well though as mine are knackered.

OEM shocks, sportlines, done.

By OEM do you mean standard? Because mine are knackered so I'd need new ones

Yeah just get standard shocks mate. Sportlines don't give you mega lows so won't need any uprated ones.

Okly dokly. How much are new shocks normally on average? Im not sure if it is the shocks I need replaced it might be the top mounts or something else but the ride is definatley worse since i've had the car. Got its MOT in 2 weeks do they check shocks and top mounts?

Any car parts place will order out of the book pretty cheaply. Not much point going for standard Renault jobs.

Not really much to go on re: your problem. Anymore description?

When I go over bumps or uneven parts or road the car seems like its taking the shock and the dashboard sort of cracks because its taking the shock (hard to explain) but there is defo a probelm with something (i think its the shocks).

And I want to get the car lowered so was thinking of buying new springs and shocks at the same time.

What are top mounts? Could it be them that are knackered and not the shocks?

Er.. Don't really understand that pal.

Are the shocks leaking? Is it one side or both?

Lol sorry its hard to explain.

There not leaking I dont think and it seems like both sides.

Its just not smooth when I go over bumps etc. You really feel the bump/shock come through the car.
