I am in need of some shockies for my lowered struts for my 71 bug as mine have shot through after about 15000 kms. i hear they might be golf type shockies.
Who can supply these to me, and what are the best available for this type of setup. :thumb

yes..i think they are mk1 golf, but maybe measure the sizes or remove and compare

There are different sorts as well

I have Boges, but I know Bilstien do an EXCELLENT version as well.
You pay for what you get though.

I have done more than 15,000 on mine and they are far from shot.

Something doesnt seem right if you have killed them after that amount of time.

I'd be pissed off with just 15,000 - you want 50K AT LEAST. I did 150K+ with my old Cofaps on my bug and just did my Commodore with 310Kkm!
