Been driving round on standard shocks with my 60mm springs for a while.
Finally had enough of having a horrible ride very bumpy etc. ive decided to get some proper shocks.
Few questions,
what are good but cheap shocks to get? Considering im a student I mean cheap.
would I be better off getting a spring and shock set or will my current springs be fine?
will my MOT pass with proper shocks too as I know it would fail with standard shocks?
Cheers.

I passed countless MOT's in my Novas lowered 60mm on standard shocks, and the old gem of "the springs will fall out" is also bollocks

I saw an ad in Total Vauxhall for Blistein and they were quite cheap. May be it was another brand. Definitely began with B.

IIRC someone offered me a springs and shocks set on here for £110ish Joel. Then you could just sell your 60mm kit on

Bilstein are not really cheap mate Joel go on ebay and either look for a second hand set, or PI, GMAX etc shocks. They won't be expensive

Top man will give him a u2u
Probably looking around £50 on top for a garage to fit them too, was too much hassle before.
