scotty_82 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 A would have though a coiler sleeve was what the retro lads use to weld onto their shockers to make a normal shocker into a coiler.Im thinking you'll need to find out what make it is and purchase one or buy a front matching pair.

99hjhm Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yeah, you need a new damper, or a pair. Take the wheel off, see if you can see a logo on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Lupido Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) I think there FK coilovers, as long as the leak stops with the sleeve for the MOT im happy untill i can afford new pair for the front.MOT always come at the wrong time its sods law.The cars that low my jack wont get under the bllody thing.

Mitchell Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) so you have bought the shock insert and are fitting it into your coilover body/sleeve. providing the inseret is of same diameters /length etc then yes Edited July 31, 2010 by Mitchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
