Suspension query

[Admanirv]

Hi Chaps,

Due to pick up my ph2 172 at the weekend, its had a few bits done to it and has standard shocks and springs. Thing is I'm not sure if they have been replaced in the past or are originals - car has covered 110k.

I presume they are possibly past their best, if not what springs do people recommend i hear cooksport are good?.

The car will be a road/track car, and me and my cousin are amateur at best which is why maybe standard suspension should left or replaced and if replaced what with - we are on a budget?

Thanks

Stannard shocks are around £40ish each. Most go with either eibach sportlines (30mm drop) or cooksports (40mm drop) as you've mentioned. Might beowryh looking into new top mounts too if your changing it all.

Spring compressors are not needed btw.

Euro car parts AMAX springs if on a budget, they are just re-branded APEX which are decent on track as they're the stiffest lowering springs and linear In design. They ain't to bad on the road either contrary to what some people say.

I run them and I'm totally happy with them on track and road for the money, they're £68 atm...

If you're not in too much of a rush I will shortly have a set of shocks and the previously mentioned Amax springs going up for sale, they've only covered 2 track days and the car isn't road legal so there's very little wear.

For budget springs they're good, I much preferred them to my previous eibachs.

Only reason for sale is the fact I'm going to gaz golds

go for eibachs, cooksports are very firm
