Suspension - Is it standard?

Recommended Posts

A bit of background.....I bought a Storm last week. As far as I could tell it was 100% standard (including original Sony radio/CD player). The car has a full VW service history.

 

While checking the tyre pressures tonight I noticed that underneath the dirt the rear shocks were red!

 

I then checked the fronts and could not see any red shocks - but obviously things get dirtier at the front.

 

The ride height is standard and the ride quality does not feel too harsh...

 

So my question is have the rear shocks been replaced with something non-standard? I'm sure the original shocks were not red, would VW have replaced them with red shocks? Anyone know what they could be?

 

I'm going to investigate further tomorrow to try and find any part numbers/manufacturers. And also clean the front shocks to see if there is any red underneath.

dr_mat - Cheers for the quick reply.

 

I was beginning to get a bit worried as it didn't quite add up - full VW service history and red rear shocks :?

 

I can sleep in peace now (i'm sure the 6 pints will help aswell) :)
