rear shock play?

hey guys new to the forum recently purchased a mk2 gti 8v at the last cambridge meet took her for the mot today and she failed:evil:
seems there is a large amount of play in the rear shocks when the subframe is jacked up when the wheels hang, been told its the top mounts need replacing,

anyone had this problem? its on standard shocks with lowering springs btw

how low are the lowering springs? Probably a knackered shock due to running lowering springs on the standard shocks.

maybe its pretty low maybe 85, i think there new shocks aswell, cheers .

if you have -80mm springs on standard shocks they will get killed in no time chap. Try checking out the top mounts as suggested first though, might even only need a tighten up.

checked her out last night and the bottom top mounts are dead lol, what coileys would you reckon for the old girl?

depends how much you wanna spend chap? I found the "hot-tuning" ebay cheapies were better than the FK ones i had. I would go for the hot-tuning ones every time, only like £170 a set.

cheers bro ill get em ordered and bolted up there asap

bought some hot tuning coilies tuesday night off the bay and got them yesterday just gotta get em fitted now lol, good service!

yip same here great value for moneys
