(Y)eyy guys, just been really concerned lately on the ride quality of my 15yr old k11 prefacelift, If I'm not mistaken I called an auto parts store locally but was super busy atm, so he recalled quickly the prices for new shocks for the k11 would be Eur43 for front and Eur30 for rear... .. I got that as for a pair.. is it kind of impossible to be that cheap?
I need to improve greatly the ride quality as I've just been into my in-laws k11 facelift and the ride quality is still like NEW even though it's 9-10yrs old. Btw I'm running on 15's while he's still running on stock..
but still mine's hard on bumps and in pot holes lool.. Also I have kind of a squeaky sound whenever I move whilst inside the car a squeaky sound can be heard very feint but it can be heard like 3-4 times before it stops.. and stupid me, my friend had to be to tell me that these are signs that the shocks have worn out, else the shocks would do only one sound til lthe car comes steady again.
so to cut this short...anything in particualr to look for when buying shocks? can those quotes I got through the phone be real ? btw 100quid = 150 euro
I just want a much better ride quality and I'm sure I can improve it drastly. would the springs need a change? I'm on a budget but if it really makes difference I might consider it... I need your opinion guys .. you're the micra vetereans in the UK
cheers!
