Upgrade MK2 shocks

Featured Replies

Evening!

Got some advice off kwijibo the other day on my newly acquired BBS RA 14x6 wheels.

Got them, put them on my MK2 bready and they srubbed like hell with 185/60/14 tyres. Kwijibo suggested tyres would sort me out. So I've bought some 165/60/14 tyres and they're getting fitted Saturday.

The worry I have is that because she has bog standard suspension, she's going to scrub over pretty much anything other than level road.

Was wondering about upgrading the shocks, but keeping the same ride height. I just want the suspension stiffer so the drubbing is less likely. Can anyone suggest any uprated shocks?

If I need to replace springs too, that's OK, like I say, just don't want to lose the current ride height. Looks good with the 14's.

Any help appreciated!

Yup, tyres were fitted and the clearance is great.

Cheers dude.

It's uprated springs you'd want anyway
