Hi folks,
Just bought or rather rescued quite a nice car as above. Above the suspension upwards all round the car is in decent condition, the suspension is quite corroded and N?S rear knocks over the slightest bump.
I've ordered a full set of the rear suspension arms ( 4 each side ) but I could do with some advice on various brands of springs and shocks. Been to merc today for the part number and typed those into Autodoc then tons of part manufacturers come up. I don't want to buy the dirt cheap ones but then don't want to pay merc prices, their quote for 4 springs and 4 shocks this morning nearly knocked me out ( £893.04 supply only) , I can get 15% off that but still strong money!!!
I'm wanting to replace all of the springs, shocks arms, tie rods etc.
I can clearly get them all for well under half price of merc prices.
Front shock part No A 124 320 32 30
Front Spring part No A 123 321 22 04
For the rear, what brands do people recommend out of these rear spring manufactuers - part No = A 124 324 11 04
Maplo
Suplex
Monroe
Meyle
Kilen
And for the rear shocks part No = A 124 326 23 00
Japan parts
KYB
Bilstein
Ashika
Optimal
Mapco
Meyle
Kamoka
Or any other brands people can recommend please would help.
If anyone knows a decent place to buy from, let me know, want to avoid ECP as not much info shows for my car.
All part numbers above came off the merc parts dept at my local dealer.
Thanks everyone
