So i had to replace my front shocks and thought id give Moranor a shout. Still needed a place to fit the shocks and h&R springs so phoned Autoquip. Some might remember my thread on my bad experience with them but they qouted the best price. For interet sake i asked them what they would charge for eibach shocks and springs. To my surprise they were R1000 less than if i would buy from moranor and let them fit it. This confused me as Moranor always has the best prices. Being short on cash i continued with them and apologised to Moranor. An hour after booking in my car they phone me and ask what shocks i asked for. For the upteenth time i said as per the qoute eibach. They apologised and sai dno the qouted on monroe shocks. Eibach shocks would take 9 weeks to get and R12 000. Pissed off i had to let them fit the monroe as i needed my car back. Lesson learned. Moranor still has the best prices and service.

So some before pics

Sorry for the dirty car. In the end Autoquip service itself was very professional. They pointed out some other items that need replacement soon.

Brakes
Rear shocks
Lower control Arms. Ball joints gone. That solves that mystery.

Stuff i want to replace.

Window wipers and cowling
Engine mounts. Will do the test.

Will upload more pics when car is clean.

Minimal vibration still coming from front. Must be the ball joints. So have to replace the LCA. They want R4800 fitted! DIY and order from moranor on the cards

Car looking sweet man.

Get cowling covered under windscreen insurance if your windscreen needs replacement. Did mine yesterday. Mine was very bad. 13 years old Afterall.

Haha. Mine wasn't even touching the glass. When you remove it you'll find lots of dirt. Ensure you have a small brush or if possible a vacuum nearby.

Hehe cant remember the style but the 335 rims, ellipsoids or CSL reps are the only ones i would consider. Maybe M5 and M6 reps. But first I want the car 100% fixed.

O ja and no cash is the other problem
