First post so hello fellow A2 owners.
I bought Boo last year as a cheap little run around that I was hoping would last me for a year before trading it in. Since then I’ve become quite attached to the little thing and want to hold on to her for a lot longer now, smitten!
I’ve got quite a few things needing done in the next couple of months, full service and timing chain/water pump next month before MOT due in July.
I’m pretty certain the rear shocks need replaced, rear passenger side for sure. Which leads me to my question! The front springs were replaced in January with standard springs as both had cracked. Now I’m thinking might as well change the rest of the suspension rather than doing it part by part as Boo will be in the family for a wee while yet.
I’ve read the ultimate suspension post so I’d imagine I need all the parts listed in that post then it’s choosing my rear springs, front and rear shocks and drop links?
What’s confused me about that post is all the suggested springs and shocks are for either sport or SE models. With Boo being a 1.4 petrol with new standard front springs can anyone suggest which shocks and rear springs I could purchase without any lowering etc or should I just keep everything standard?
Thanks in advance and apologies for posting another suspension query but I was bamboozled with all the options!
