Hi I have a citroen saxo vts 1.6 2003 model.

Am looking to buy a full suspension kit shockers springs etc to replace my basic ones. Have had drivers rear side go on me or just started to act up not much but maybe got a few months to decided on what ones to get depending on how bad it gets.

So first will come doing the rear and then the front.

In terms of just shockers I have heard of spax or something like that.
And also the following makes

KONI STREET STR.T
MONROE
KYB
APEX

Looking for advise on maybe some after market full kit or just shocks and springs for back ones and also advise on what the difference is in terms of performance if anything.

Thanks in advance.

You'll want something adjustable then.

For the road, and on your budget, you won't go wrong with apex shocks and springs. But these are not adjustable...

I was thinking of something better but second hand.

Thanks for the advise on them. Am guessing adjustable better for making softer or harder. Am tempted by a few different adjustable ones but hmm prices might have to save up cash up and look at getting some then again hard decision as to what to get for future as am also tempted at another car but this cars so much fun already lol.
