gt6878e Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 hi all....re the rear dampers on the gt6 mk1 the same as the spit or are the an uprated version? Been to my local motor shop to see if he could get me a pair (my car is bottoming out badly) and the book says they're the same. Just want to ask the people who know before i order them. £20 each sounds about right doesn't it?thanksDarren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Darren, In my experience, you will want some decent rear shockers.£40 for two county ones which will last 1 year, is not as good value as 2x Avo or Koni which cost £100 and last 15 years!!And do a MUCH better job into the bargain!Go fer it lad!

Tim Bancroft Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 KYB are Japanese and good quality. I have them fitted to my 2.5 and have had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Have had bottoming problem with my Vi6 with swing spring dont know if they are all the same but there were 3 rubber doughnuts inside the std' shocker top can for bump stops,, in desperation to get some ride quality cut off the top can and removed 2 of the bumps to get some travel,, not like a dodgem now..peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
