No they aren't stock shocks there Koni Yellow's I think already on the car now with K-mac adjustable coils.

Frankly, I reckon if the suspension is lousy the car is lousy. If I couldn't go to a Koni or Bilstein setup I'd leave the factory stuff there. Suspension - even the cheapy stuff - is too much money and mucking around to be doing experiments. And its too critical to be driving on to be going backwards from the factory setup. Same goes for second hand struts. Struts are good for about 60,000 Ks. Its the same cost or trouble to put in old ones as new ones.
My 10 bobs worth.

I ended up buying some new parts like bumpstops and mounts, and that set me back roughly an extra $150

Hi rayray

I know you posted this a while ago but where did you get the bump stops & mounts from?

Cheers

Tooleys Imports @ Waitara (Hornsby-ish).

Address is 1 James St, Waitara. Phone: (02) 9476-2999. Good to call up first as sometimes they might not have what you're after in stock.

They have a lot of new parts for our cars.

Alternatively, you can give Matt a.k.a. Golf Loon a call on 0423051737. A sponsor here, he'll be able to give you some cheap deals on second-hand stuff.
