Hey long time man

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

I put them on last year. I haven't done enough driving since the change but I think they were worth it.

Good to see you still have your car too.

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

Yep still have it. It’s done a lot of klms over the years.I have maintained it to keep it in excellent condition. I have owned it coming up to 17 years.

Mine is coming up to 19 years. The km's have slowed down but it's in excellent condition. Getting a bit excellenter every month lately too.

Thank you. I will give it a try later.

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

Well its been a few weeks now and the new coilovers are going well. The car rides a lot smoother and copes better with bumps.I think i have my ride height just about right. I removed my 30mm front sway bar and fitted the original one from factory and it goes around corners and bends very well.I am going to Batemans Bay this weekend for a week and see how it goes over these roads they call highways.

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

Nice! Any pics?

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

car is a bit filthy at the moment. Just back tonight from the Batemans Bay. Car went realy well. Suspension worked wonders coming down the twisty hill leading into Batesmans Bay. Raced a mustang on the passing lanes and out handled the stanger. I was impressed how the car struck on line through the corners.

I’ve been running the Shockworks gear in my XR8 since 2016 and recently had it put under my Pursuit project, absolutely fantastic set-up, alongside the Brembos would be the the two best mods I’ve done to it.

Absolutely night and day compared to standard but rides as nice or better than the Passat I drive at work.

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

Yeah I have the 4 pot brembos on my car since 2007. I have been through 3 sets of rotars. I have upgrades the rears with similar set up as fgx xr8

Re: Shock works coil overs
 

Sweet, i will grab a set, cheers for the review
