Title: Elite Estate Rear Shocks
Post by: Richard A on 01 June 2010, 17:53:06

I have seen this question asked before, my car is a saloon, this is for a friend who wishes to keep the 'air ride adjust shocks',
which make/manufacturer is currently a good deal ?

These seem a good buy.

I think other members have gone for these.
I would have fitted these, for towing, but the caravan may be sold :'(

When I did my set I spoke nicely to a VX trade club card holder and paid around £72+vat each for genuine parts :y, not sure what difference the pre facelift ones are

vx self levelling shocks for both saloon and estate elites are £150 a pair on trade club, although differant part numbers obviously.

The non vx kits mentioned above will not work with the elites automatic levelling system, but are usefull for non self levelling models apparently.

As we are talking elite rear suspension i would recommend vx sl items on tc.(esp. as nobody else makes them) Card link below.
