What do you recommend and best place to get them from.....??

Ebay have some Monroe Rears for £75

Allparts have gas shocks for £69 each (staff discounted rate) but i'm unsure which make

 

i found Konis to be firm but comfy.

 

cool

 

I think i might just order these ones from fleabay...

Probably alright for your needs chick, no personal experience of them myself though

 

Thing is i'm not into having the best suspension and stuff! Its just an everyday car to me that i love! So yeah i think i'll just go for them... then when i have £500 get coilovers!

 

Yeah, thats what i was getting at! You dont need the sort of stupid stuff i have under mine. Shit round town unless i soften evrything up.


You'll be sweet with those for a quick fix

 

Would it be best to get fronts as well? Or not a big deal if i only get the rears... as they're all i need!

 

But when you put the 16's on chick then you will ideally have to use coilovers, you can get away with it but it may involve some butchering of your car..

and i wouldnt recommend that.

 

most people have said with spacers they havent had a problem.... I know it would be ideal to have coilovers but i simply dont have the money!

 

do what you want...


What would I know anyway

 

I know you are right! But i just dont have the money! If it comes to it i'll have to keep the standard 3 spokes on there... Dan has 16's on his with 10mm spacers on the back and its ok

 

dont understand how spacers will help the problem in anyway really chick!
All the spacers will do is give the wheel a bit of clearance but push it out so the outside edge of your tyre will rub on the arches


I put spacers on mine when i put the Gaz Golds on and it rubbed to fook on 15's! alright i am running R888's with a 50 profile but still......



if you can afford a full set then personally i would have it all matching, just sell the stuff you take off


if your skint you should be alright, i have seen loads of cars with different front and rear kits......again i wouldnt do it but they havnt wrote their cars off and again you drive relativley sensible im guessing

 

I just thought that if you need rear shocks anyway, why not just get a good setup...

 

If i had the money i would do the lot! But i dont! So am on a bit of a budget! Oh well... i'll see what comes up

 

you will find out as you go along i guess... trial and error!!

I only speak from 7 years of experience.




Goodluck

 

couldnt agree more.


hey, did you have the grey one for 7 years Sas??

 

Yes i did, I miss it like fucking mad i tell you.. Its like loosing a limb

I bought it back in 2000... But hey ho

We shared many a goodtime with that car... & Matt knows it better than ford does itself

 

The old attachment thing is a bitch!

I have said in the past ill never ever get rid. BUT I am considering getting rid of mine next year but im so half hearted about the thing i know the second it goes ill cry and then ill spend the rest of my days pining for it!


I said im gonna blow the fucker up again so i get annoyed with it, then ill be able to break it without too much guilt or regret. I cant imagine life without it in my fleet.


Wierd how attached and fond you can get over a stinkin old Fiesta isnt it?


Any time i consider getting rid or breaking it my Mrs's jumps on it and starts encouraging me to let go........so im keeping it out of spite and defiance at the moment. Av that bitch!
