Hi everyone
I have a 2012 VW Sharan with ABT springs and the original Suspension. It's been a nice ride but my suspension needs to be replaced. Havg that said, l cannot find a coil over suspension for my Sharan. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look or buy? 
Much appreciate any feedback  8-)
Mike

Hi Graham,  thanks a bunch for your reply.  Really appreciate it.
Is this an item you have tried? Just asking because apparently this kit seems to get noise over time. Apparently.
But it does look like this is the only one available in the market.

Thanks agin for your reply,
cheers
Michael :o)))

i have now purchased a ta technik (spelling) kit for the car, will have info and picws for everyone in the new year. need some strut cups befor i can fit anything :S also, it seems like there is no spring retention bolt atop the shock so it is literally the top bolt holding and compressing everything. not too sure on that, may have to pull em at a later date and add a nut.
