Tis the season, to be wary
fa lala la laaah, lala la laaah
Holes appeearing, some quite scarey
fa lala la arrrrrrrrgh

Driive an estate.... had to replace two rear shocks
and got one other shock.....
The price
£330 +VAT EACH
apparently they are self leveling... so expensive.

End decision was to change rear springs and then buy two normal shocks (£40 each)

Destroyed before their time.... due to potholes and severe speed bumps

YEP....

I'm contemplating sending them my dental bill also.......... Every now and again I discover a few in a row of good edges..... the shock is enough to rattle out any loose fillings :?
