Shock Absorber B7 RS4

Post by WilkinsonRS4 » Sun Nov 16, 2014 10:38 pm

My shocker has snapped on the rear NS so do I need to replace both or just that side and if I just replace one side will there be issues in future and a change in the ride considering I've got lowered springs on by 20mm??
Any advise I'd appreciate people!!
Modified standard exhaust Modified deflapped inlet manifold ported and polished
Head and valve decoke Performance K&N panel filter. Remapped. Lowered slightly (20mm) on KW performance springs Widened on 10mm spacers.
