StarboZo Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 OK so the starlet failed the MOT on Saturday with a few issues most can be sorted easily . Need advice on what to do regarding a leaking rear shock. Currently on Tein coilovers but I'm now lost on what I need to replace??!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Best to replace in pairs, so try to source some coils for the rear, or just some rear springs and shocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 the easiest thing to do now will be source a pair of used standard shocks and springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarboZo Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Will it make any difference having adjustable coilovers on front and standard shocks and springs on the rear?? Just need to get it through its test til I can replace the lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It'll make the ass high and front low, could just swap them for the purposes of the mot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 no it wont make a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 i have a set of front standards and rear standards shockers and springs (complete units) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm running coilies on the front and standard springs and shocks on the back, make it ride a little higher at the back and the nose slightly harder over pumps etc. No biggy!Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
