Hello,

 

My 2003 Turbo needs some suspension and related bits TLC.  The local garage has come up with a shopping list of bits, some of which are more in need of replacing than others.  The bits I would like some advice on sourcing are as below together with the part numbers the garage has given me:

 

OSF top wishbone - 93178252

OSF shock absorber top mount bracket - 9197819

NSR drive boots - 9197864 & 9197858

 

In addition I have Nitron SS shocks and the springs are heavily corroded.  What other springs would work?  The car is road use only and tends to be more distance touring than blatting.

 

I have put the part numbers into Google and there are some options that come up so I'd like to know if there is a 'preferred' set of suppliers that you would feel happy using.

 

Any advice will be appreciated.

Might be best contacting one of the specialists, Max88, Type116, Performance Autocare etc who may well have these parts, new or good used.

 

coilover springs are readily available from various makers, so should be easy enough, or presumably Nitron could supply new ones.

Or maybe just have your old blasted and powder coated ? But new springs aren't overly expensive from likes of Faulkners.

stevieturbo - thanks for the quick response and recommendations!

Nitron shocks use 2.25 inch springs so any in the correct length and spring rate will do. You can go to the likes of eibach and get some. Not sure on the spring rates off the top of my head.

There's a lot of stuff available second hand on  Fleabay.
