    Hello guys,

    I have 1 leaky shock front left side and one rear left side I promised my friend I would do some rodeo drifting in his videoclip but the shocks have gone so bad that I get terrible wheel hop. I am afraid to break my car lol, there is not enough time to source some replacements because I already ordered a new suspension kit so that would be stupid... What should I do ?? :(

    Wait until you've sorted it?

    Yes but I won't have it sorted soon because the suspension kit I ordered will take ages to arrive...
    I think I will just try it anyways.

    swap the rear shocks over so you have both good shocks on the right and only drift to the left?

    Just go to the junkyard and buy some cheapo shocks and put them on while you wait for the kit.

    Lol, you clearly know the risk involved, make the decision yourself you'll be the one that has to pick up the bill if all goes wrong mate.

    There will be no bill, he's talking about rodeo drift, I.e sitting outside the car whilst drifting. It it goes wrong he will be killed.
