Title: front shox!
Post by dan_the_man on Aug 31^st, 2007, 10:27pm

hi I am led to believe that the front end is softly sprung on scorps. I know my old bus bangs over bumps that old Golf's , Omegas and a Rover 45 glide over. I guess my shox are tired . I was thinking of uprating them ! suggestions and advice would be much appreciated.

The front shocks can't be separated from the struts...it's an all in one unit.

So it would be a case of replacing the struts :)

cheers bertie, they come to 116 pound inc shipping. I guess they are uprated/stronger than standard ones,
