Default Cossie Suspension Options

Right peeps, I was told when I bought my car (2wd Sapph Cos) it had a Koni set up on it. On closer inspection at work, I discovered it does have Koni shockers but only on the rear and Motorcraft on the front. It also has lowered?? springs on it but I have no idea what they are.
I got a full (used) Spax kit with the car but on inspection found the rear shockers are fooked.

Im undecided wether to pull all the supension off and try and make 1 good kit out of the 2, which of the 2 sets of springs to use will be another issue, or just to go out and buy a full brand new kit. Something I really cant afford at the moment.

Whats your opinions please peoples?

What do you run on yours?


Cheers, Ian

Konis and a good set of lowering springs -25 max usually works well for the road.

Best to get a good set or new as its one of the most important parts on the car

If money no option then there are always the coil over route.

i couldnt make it in the end

I was on the phone to the boys that went down and they had fun walking around Blackpool all day in the rain

Some good results by the sounds of it although they did run into a few probs with a dodgy fuel pump on one of the cars.

they are not home yet so havent had the full story.
