[Vwdiesel] rear springs

[mark shepherd]

Just bought these bump stops for my rear shocks.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380038483876&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D380038483876%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1

I've never replaced them before. These are excellent value. Funnily, I've 
seen the originals decay and rot off but I never realized that their 
omission would affect my suspension and be in part to blame for some of  my 
Quantum's  having softer suspension than I would like. I think its because 
there were 2 options, and the bits I always came across were so soft I just 
thought they were part of the dust protection... What a plonker I am!
 The seller has a lot of stuff and is open to offers.
