**Gio** · 09-10-2008 12:47 PM

Hey guys whats my options for decent front and back shocks for a 98 d16y hatch?

Should i just get coilovers?

What options should i consider?

Thanks in advance

whats ur budget

how low will ur insurance let you go

do you care about insurance companies

otherwise get Buddy Clubs, cheap and decent, apart from not being able to be rebuilt

otherwise Tiens from Fulcrum

or Koni Yellow struts with King springs and get a rear sway bar fitted with ethier option, this is a street use guide, I don't give people advice for tracks, let's face how often does it happen

what tyres you running?

Tell us your budget then i may respond.

budget 2k-2.5k for a nice new system, dont get 2nd hand shit pls, not worth it

Fulcrum in Stafford is unreal, great work on northside

don't go to *******, I can say they're shit, they've work on a car of mine before and did a shit house job 3 times before paying Fulcrum to fix it all yrs ago, they're dick heads, managed by a complete tool of a man

You could probably go with a half decent coilover set for that price

Tiens would be close (if not a few hundred off)

Hell Trism (Matt) bought a full coilover and Camber kit from us ebay for that price DELIVERED

**DNY*BOY** · 09-10-2008 03:25 PM

thats it aye... thing is you lose on currently cause shipping is a rought and also the aussie dollar is down so buyin gebay isnt all that good

Had to mention the shop, I want them under as do many others, they're a discrace, anyone who wants details please PM me and I will explain how "great" they are

Since that's ur budget, get Koni Yellows and some springs installed

coilovers are a touch out of the price, only just with shit house Aussie Dollar

also check out Bilenstein

Thought he said it was $2400.... but I guess that depends where you look....In the build thread or the for sale thread.

BTW.... its Bilstein... not Bilenstein.

Lol, you'll be spending alot for the bilenstien's they are one of the best shocks built in the world tho, you're getting quality with them, seen their warehouse it is amazing.

When you come round for oil and whatnot, we'll go for a drive in mine and I'll show you what Koni's offer, good product, OEM fitment, I love that feeling when everything is like oem

I paid too much for the labour at Jaxasses but under $1600, call up Fulcrum as they are a distributor/rebuilder of Koni and have great worksmanship, they helped us alot
