Hey guys

i've hit a bit of a wall here, looking for a set shocks for the Jazz.
i found no one seems makes them, but i might have found a part number for a monroe shock ... hoping they get back to me ...

Can't afford a full coilover kit just yet, and not sure i wanna take the punt on a set over ebay, yet anyway.

1st, does anyone know who makes a front shock for a GD3, or, are these BWR coilover's any good?

they seem like the goods, and they ARE priced right, (and the ebay seller's talking $75 postage, not 200-300)

help?

Do a google search on reviews man. Some of the unknown/cheap branded coilovers get praised by some of the guys in the US on honda-tech etc

Whats the right price for you?? I can vouch for BC coilovers V1. I got them on my jazz and its perfect for the street. They go for $1150 @ justjap.

i have BC's i got from EdyL but never used em yet LOL.
only cost me $550 but they look pretty good, no dodgy looking bits or anything like that.

Just get coilovers from ebay, not very likely to get ripped off.
and wtf r u gonna do with this car? race professionally?

i know i know.

i AM thinking of making it into a track car, but not in the forseeable future.

meh... i need this fixed, as it's getting worse fast, and the only option to me here in brisbane to have it fix by the weekend, is Honda OEM shocks.

If u had this thread up 3 weeks ago, I would have given u my stock ones instead having to throw them away.

damn it. i only had the car back on the road like last week.

ACTUALLY, i've found 999 automotive have a set of Cusco coilovers on "Sale" for 1699. they are local, might have to go over there in the morning, see if they still have it, see if i can talk them out of it for less $$$
