What landy shockers

Post by jamz » 16 Feb 2012 09:41 am

What landy shocks do I need? And also will they raise the car so do I take that into account when ordering my blocks. I want to order it all ASAP as car goes on road at the end of the month

What are the intentions for the car? LR shocks are useless for anything other than drifting. Adjustables are available.

Rear adjustables are £135. For road and trackwork, I'd suggest LR stuff would be way to skittish. There are many threads on here.

It was for sale for a long time Tom, non of the "polishers" took her on. I'd much prefer to see a car be wanted than ignored, I look forward to following the progress.

It's not going to be a drift car just a retro subtle modded car but kept clean. I can't help going a little but sideways on a wet roundabout. Trust me guys yourll like it when it's done
