Rear shocks

[skattrd]

I’m after a pair of rear shocks for my Jetta …
Anyone got any or know where I can get some for not too much ££ – I’m scared to ask my local dealer how much they charge for them.

Thx.
Chris

Adjustable ride hight (by 75mm or 3 inches) Syncro gas shocks for less than 90 euros the pair (about 60 pounds), including postage to the UK, now that cant be bad.

I have a full set of 4 here which I am building up with new springs etc for Mark (Slateford) to replace his crappy coilovers,

They seem to be of exellent quality and they are TUV certified and have a 2 year warranty, what more can you ask for,
about 2 years ago I bought a set for a Corrado and they are still doing the bizz and the owner is well pleased with them []

[Slateford]

Chris is correct when he says crappy coilovers, FK Highsports that is. I’ll be glad to see the back of them after driving Chris’s syncro with good old fashioned springs and dampers. A few syncro owners have gone onto the very expensive KW brand or back to standard VW or aftermarket suspension setups with good results and I don’t see the ones that Chris is building up as going to be any different. Can’t wait[]

[holmes]

hi chris how much would it cost me for you to do the same for me and to ship over here? a full set with springs? regards

[no such user]

fk highsports that bad ?? will be sticking to spring damper setup then

[Slateford]

When I visit Chris and Pascal in October, I’m sure they will have something to say about the ride quality of the FK’s.

For a completely new & built up set ready to bolt on it will cost as follows
