Hi all,

 

my G40's rear shocks blew last week... so I started to look for new ones. Well, I had a couple of surprises during my 3yrs with the G40... first is that almost nothing is available from VW.

Well, this is also true to suspension components. No shocks available. Koni yellows and Bilstein B8s can be ordered. 100 EUR each. So, it would be 200 EUR just for the rear shocks. :) And two weeks. Nothing is on shelf for the G40 in Hungary.

 

You guys in the UK have much better support for the Mk2 Polo. They also have in Germany. Here? Nothing. There are like 10 or less G40s in the country, so nothing is available right away.

 

So my question is: Anyone tried to fit other suspension under the Mk2? 6n1/2? Golf Mk1? Anything that is more widely available? :)

At those prices, it might just pay to see how much they are in other countries and then check on delivery costs.

One note of caution though, I purchased an item from the USA recently and had to pay tax on it - so check on that as well.

 

Regards

 

no taxes to pay within the eu , ive often found german sellers cheaper and better performing than ones in the uk, order your stuff and it will be on the doorstep within a few days
