seing as my suspension is gonna have to come apart to swap the worn top mount i have, I'm thinking about changing the front dampers at the same time.
Currently ive got cheapo phillj shocks fitted which tbh are pretty gash as far as damping goes (they were cheap and for the money i cant complain) but now I have some spare funds i'd like to invest in some better dampers for my polo
option 1 spax vsx £60 a pair, non adjustable, 30% uprated over std
spax psx £170 a pair, adjustable damping
avo adjustables £180 for the fronts
wietecs for £150, but these arent adjustable and seem a bit pricey.
Pi £70 for a par, similar spec to the spax vsx shock.
thats about all i can find. Other companies seem to only want to sell complete spring and shock kits, rather than individual shocks.
are the adjustable shocks worth the extra money, the car is used on the road (mostly bumpy back roads) never on a track, so i don't think i will be messing with the suspension once its on the car.
Can anyone give any recommendations? (not just on performance but also the build quality of the above makes?)
thanks
