Default The ride on my S2 stinks. Anyone want/need a good set of OEM struts & shocks

I took the car for a ride this evening. Not only is one side about 1/4 inch higher than the other, but the ride is stiff as a race car.

I guess that is because Jon (Techno Duck) put in the M030 front struts while Dan (Jeeper) and I put the rear yellows in.

We think Jon was goofing off because it took him so much longer to do the fronts.

Thanks guys.

I have the original S2 fronts with springs and rear sachs. The car has 69.5k miles on it. The parts say 951, but remember the springs were a bit softer on the S2.

I think shipping will be more than they are worth, but they are not leaking. I know I can sell em to paragon to use as cores, but would rather give a rennlister the chance first to buy all four from me for what paragon will give me for the cores. A rennlister with some time and skills can get some more miles out of thier suspension, and then they can sell their leaky pair to be used as cores.

So you're griping about the ride, yet want to keep it and sell the originals? I say put the originals back in to get the ride you want, and then sell the M030 stuff to me.
