Aftermarket shocks

[mreuro4]

Hey all,

I know this may have been covered b4. Please point me in the right direction if it has. Just lowered my car with Skunk2 springs. Now I want to replace the shocks. Any suggestions, or experiences? Thanks.

I priced them a few years ago, they were $150ea in Aust from memory.
You can get them from lots of places.

Thanks mate. I will call around at a few places in Brissie and get pricing.

Last time I priced Koni Yellows was 18 mths ago and discount price was just under $1,000.
Opted for the Tein SS instead, as have many others here have done, with the damping adjustment as the Koni yellows do.

Good luck with the Koni's tho, you might get them 4 a good price.....

Yeah, sorry. Might have been $250ea, not $150ea.

Koni yellows are good but also check Bilsteins.I've got these shocks with Eibach springs and the setup is excellent.

Good thing as i have read about the bilsteins is that they are (correct me if im wrong) a shock that can be re-gased etc. (is this possible with the koni)

Slightly more expensive however...

You mean they can be rebuilt and or revalved.Bilsteins yes,Koni don't think so.
