1200 Coupe - Bilsteins or Konis

Post by _smp_ »

Just wondering of others experiences in obtaining front shocks for the standard 1200 strut? At this point, I am not looking to go away from standard, cheers. I might do the rear 280zx brake disc and N13 caliper at some stage, but that will be another story ;)

I've been trawling through the 1200 wiki and am across the Mark 1 Golf Bilstein option...seems a bit of a drama though.
I've also chatted to Stocks about getting some adj Konis for the rear...shortened by about an inch, so those should work well once I have my rear springs retensioned.

Put simply, I'm looking for part numbers, or Make/ Model details/ supplier for a set of Bilsteins or Konis for the front.
any peeps still got standard struts??

cheers

I have a pair of new KYB gas front inserts for sale...
Have been fitted to project car but never used/driven on. Fit stock struts, have had the shafts shortened 60mm professionally for lowering car nicely.
Message me if youre keen for more details.
