Help .... I'm looking for Shock absorbers

Post by diamond4owl » Tue Aug 18, 2009 10:47 pm

Hi all
Can't seem to get my hands on one front and one rear shock absorbers. Lotus and various suppliers saying approx 2-4 weeks, I've tried a few websites and other suppliers but no luck. Elise S2 01 plate.
If anyone could help I'd be so grateful as was hoping to go on a wee trip end of next week!
Cheers

Someone more technically minded may be along soon, but IMHO, are you not best replacing shock absorbers in pairs, i.e. both fronts , or both rears at the same time?

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
