SHS Coilover Broken Shock absorber "Eyelet" /Mount X 2
Hi Peoples,
I have had said coilovers on a MK5 Golf break twice(in 12 months from purchase) from the "eyelet or mount" where the Links from the Swaybar Join the shocker.After the first episode i replaced the OEM VW links with heavy duty adjustable links to the H and R sway bars at the front.HPA Motorsports(US) who i ordered from have been pretty good but said the factory (KW Germany) has refused the second warranty on account of the H and R sway bars.They offered me discounted exact replacements but after having it happen twice, am reticent and asked whether they had a more "Robust" product. They said they were in talks already for one from KW/SHS and would get back to me.Sort of reinforced my thoughts on not replacing existing. Times passing and i'm wondering whether any good person has a suggestion for locally available replacement shocker(s) that may fit the bill and work with the existing coils(if this makes sense). Thoughts appreciated as i reckon the cars pretty unroadworthy without the Sways and links to the shocker.
Cheers
Steve
