Title: New suspension fitted
Post by: PhilzMR2 on June 8, 2017, 19:44
Finally got around to replacing my front shocks, springs, top mounts and all the other bits in between.
Very pleased with the result - it's my every day car so I didn't want track spec stuff.
Fitted KYB shocks and Kilen springs and the ride is great. Nice and smooth over our terrible local roads,
but also corners well at speed.
All the annoying knocks, clunks, rattles, metallic noises etc have now gone. I'm a happy man!

Well done Phil. You don't hear of many fitting the kilen springs. You will have to give a write up in a couple of months.
Personally i fit tge KYB springs. After 8 months the coating was starting to come off, would be intrested as to how the coating fairs.
