Re: Help 3/4 shocks leaking!
got a quote for full set of Bilstein @ 305.00 GBP might sound like a stupid question but do the springs have to be released to replace the dampers if so is it worth replacing the springs for lowered versions? just a thought.

You should be able to find aftermarket shocks cheaper than that.

Re: Help 3/4 shocks leaking!
You can get bilsteins ?
They are great I tried to get them and they said they weren't available for our cars ?

Re: Help 3/4 shocks leaking!
Will double check with the supplier to re-check his listings, whatever it is a strut or a shock it is leaking. Even in the dryest of weather the bottom part of the strut around the suspension ring theres a wet greasy dirt feel that never dies out unlike the dirt build up found behind the wheel arch for example.
