Cheap coilovers or better shocks?
#1
SO i've been rocking about in my DT for a few months now on a 60mm drop all round, with standard shocks.
Its a nice height and on flat roads drives well, but when theres bumps its pretty bouncy. And i'm thinking better shocks would help with this?
Obviously want to spend as little as possible... but is it better to get cheapo ebay coilovers or uprated shocks with my drop springs?

Im talking cheap like this: LINK

Or get some, (bilstein?), shocks?

The only other car ive got/had coilies on is my mk2 golf gti and I got them dirt cheap as the standard suspension was shagged, so that obviously improved it no end and couldnt really compare to true standard setup?

Thoughts? Also, dont want to spend a fortune as its only a cheap to work and back (in style) car :-p

Sorry if this is the billionth time this question has been asked!
