suspension failed again???

[liam172]

I had some eibah pro kit springs put on my car about 6 months ago and i had to replace the front shocks within 2 months cause they failed.. now just had my bearings done and my mate said the back is starting to leak and this is down to the fact that the car is lowed.. has any 1 else had the same kind of problems??

he said it is going to be worth while spending a little money on buying some uprated shocks.. point taken.

should i go for shocks and springs, just shocks and use the eibah springs? looking to lower the car about 40mm while am at it.. can some 1 give me some advice on what to go for and the cost?

cheers peeps

ive had mine replaced on the back ,cos they were leaking. cars standard tho (not lowered)

They'll fail anyway but using lowering springs only accelerates the process. New shocks and the springs should last a while though as long as your only going -35mm.

-35mm whats shocks, springs will give me this? can i still use the eibah springs?

but i thought the pro kit only lowers a 172 15-20mm ish?

 

[liam172]

right so i cant use the springs? should i just go with the standard 1's then? just need some advice..

cheers

[liam172]
