Parts for sale / fancy suspension bits for sale
« Last post by hayesey on July 27, 2023, 04:53:44 pm »EDIT 2023-07-31 - just the Konis and custom-Bilsteins left now.
I recently changed all the suspension on my track polo for Cup Car stuff I managed to get hold of so the previous parts are for sale. All quite unique!
-----------
Next, custom made Bilstein B8 inserts/shock absorbers. I had these specially made to suit 375lbs springs for track use as nothing off the shelf for a polo is up to the job. So they are a pair of Bilstein B8 shocks (already a high quality shock for fast road) with the piston rods shortened and re-valved to suit 375lbs springs. You wouldn't have to use the same poundage springs but these are suited to stiff springs.
These were monstrously expensive when new (for a pair of shocks for a polo anyway...) and I'm really in two minds about whether I even want to sell them, if the shocks in my cup suspension fail I'll regret selling these ones!
£175 posted in UK.
--------------------
Lastly, a pair of rear Koni Yellow shocks for a polo. I haven't used them in a while but they are in good order, piston rods nice & stiff and no leaks.

Everything is located north east of Manchester if you wanted to come and look. Happy to talk about a deal for multiple parts or even all of it.

offside rear arch being sorted (like the nearside, this wasn't rusty but had been chopped about to make it wider).
Inner arch:
outer arch cut into shape ready to weld:
and done, also the wheel tub painted with mastic:
underside is being coated in mastic, after that will be underseal and then stonechip:
