Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

Just an update here:
At first I didn't think it really worked but today after taking the p.o.s. to Gloucester and back I can positively confirm. It was it, it handles like a car again.

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

I haven't look for any other options yet. Considering how much I spent on my crap-wagon recently and just how cheap those shocks from the link you have provided were (70% cheaper than the cheapest shocks in the UK) and the fact that I promised myself that I will be thinking about replacing it soon ...

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

don't agree with that at all, mine probably are 2-3 years old and they fine like on the beginning :wink: maybe u got a faulty bunch :-q I cannot say for others. What I can say is that mine were gone!

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

I'm not happy with myself I really should have bought bilsteins. Considering how much I spent on suspension so far I may ended up with FK shortened shockers :-(
Do you know of any good quality shortened shockers in reasonable price (not as expensive as bilsteins)?

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

Jarek, you are 100% right when saying that long shockers are not good.
Basically the sensation while driving is the same as it was while driving on old FK coilovers. It wonders and dumping is poo.. I'm getting short shockers next week.

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

Ideal would be Bilstain B8 but that has some price tag on it. If you consider the ones on ebay - they are nothing else then FK IMO so can be bought much cheaper direct from FK. http://www.carparts-tuning.co.uk/en/Suspension-Tuning/Sport-shock-absorbers/Shock-absorbers-separately/Sport-shock-absorbe...

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

There are some on ebay (from Germany) but they are non-branded (presumably not very good)?

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon

Thanks Jarek.

Do you have any particular shocks in mind? Where would you get them from?
