strictly speaking, It's the springs that absorb vibration, the shocks are dampers.

From how u described it and how it braked last time I drove it, I would do it sooner rather than later and I would buy set of springs and shocks rather than mix and match

ET, my shocks are in pretty nasty situations in these few weeks.
Now actually the chassis absorbing the shocks from the road but not the suspension.

So i am saving money now for the new shocks and thinking which to get. (Looking for cheap option)
So how much is your KONI cost?

When i test drove your car last time, the Koni wasnt the sportiest suspensions around but it definitely absorbs the road noises and the vibration.
Which is what i want

i just had the same feeling, and the thrust rod was cracked, get AK to get it done asap, jack it up and take apart the shocks and springs and use strong lamp.
Koni could be the best if it is more comfy!

So do you rekon i should change the springs at the same time?
But my Eibach springs are pretty new i think (About 2yrs)

I think KC means buy a set of shock/spring combo instead of buying them separately to make sure they can work well with each other. koni sells a package of it's fsd shocks with eibach spring (which is the same as the black one we are using), so you can get koni and be sure that they can work fine together as a set.

I am sure lots of credit card telesales will love to lend you money.

you are not worried that the vibration will shake your cars into pieces and cause more repair later on?
