Technical What a Shocker!!!

Hello all!

Needing a bit of help, Both my front shocks have pooed their self's so needing to replace, mean while, while I'm there i was going to do maybe a simple lift nothing over the top just to get it a little higher.

So my plan was buy some shocks, springs and top mounts (unsure if that's basically everything?) Lift kit containing top spacer, 127 gearbox flange (just in case) and bits for the rear (spacer, shackles and 2wd shocks)?

So my question is...
Where can i get some kit and if that's everything and would be okay?
Is that every part for the strut to be complete?
Anything I'm missing guys?

Many Thanks All, Lewis:slayer:

Anything I'm missing guys?

30-35mm lift
Front- yes + camber adjustment
Rear - yes,
+ other small jobs and tweaks here and there like front wheel alignment, lower front ball joint - inspection ( if poor ideally replacement for threaded type), shackle rubbers.


Lewis, pm me your budget for it. I'm on the look out for / getting parts made for other kit right now.

Depends what you're planning to do. That's all the bits that are likely to need replacing (get the top mount with bearing - comes with or without if it's just the bush that's worn). If you're planning to build the struts up off the car without dismantling the old ones first then you'll need the steel plate that goes on the top of the spring that the bearing runs on and iirc (been a little while since I had one apart) there's a plastic cup that retains the grease round the bearing. You'd normally just re use those from the old assembly.
Ah, Here's the ePER entry - some rubbers and a couple of washers/spacers in the top too there.
