Hi,
I'm running a 2001 Leon Cupra with original shocks & recently fitted Eibach pro kit springs . I'm having to have a wheel bearing replaced & the mechanic has identified that the front dampers may be starting to go. I have wanted to eliminate more of the body roll at some point but don't necessarily need the ride to be any firmer than it is now. So here's my dilemma/question:
- Mechanic has recommended I uprate the dampers whilst replacing which means all 4 would have to be done & they can be pricey.
- Just moved into a house so funds not as free as I'd like right now.
My questions are:
1. Can anyone recommend a decent budget set of dampers that would go well with my Eibachs without making the ride too hard?
or
2. What would be the difference if I just replaced the 2 front dampers with standard ones & then bought front & rear strut braces which I have seen some reasonably priced ones? Hence, no decrease in current ride quality but eliminate body roll?
My primary requirements are the price & I don't want to sacrifice ride quality. I realise there have been a few threads on suspension but I needed the comparison with the strut brace option.
All responses welcomed & asap as car has to go in this week. Cheers people.
