Having had issues with knocking with the 2nd hand b12 suspension I bought, I gave the car to local garage to investigate. They've discovered the driver's side shocker is soft.
So I'm buying a new pair of front B8s for the 6 for Christmas.
Can anyone suggest the best place to buy and/or offer up any codes.
Thanks in advance.

I still have to knock on the front on my estate which is since i fitted 2nd hand B8s on it. Shocks are the only thing left that could be causing the issue. Keep me updated with how you get on when you fit the news 1s if you can please. You able to message me how much Miles is for the shocks just out of interest as well please?

I'm only not posting price because I don't know if the price is too low for Bilstein to be happy etc and site rules.
I'm sure if you email Miles through pugracing.com you'll get the same price. I don't know him, so no special treatment, although have bought a few of his bits eg lightened flywheels etc

I haven't actually paid for mine. So feel free to say Ian from Glasgow if you're doing a group buy. I've agreed my price so not looking to get a discount but happy for others to benefit.

Cheers, No problems with sorting out a group buy of them, it's mainly the carriage that will discount them slightly more unless I can say get 5 sets ordered up I may get some more discount which I can pass on

Ok that sounds ideal. I'll make a thread up later with people that are interested and see how much response it gets.
