Well, me srpings arrived today, so off shopping for some Koni's ove rthe next week and will be fitting them a week on Monday unless I get some time spare beforehand!

Any links to someone who sells Koni's for a decent price would be appreciated!

Someone has told me that some chap on Club Polo sells them???

Ok, Koni's look like they are the way to go, but do you need to remortgage yer house and sell yer left leg to buy a set!!?!??!?!


The Sports Shox for use with lowered springs come in at a cool £384.34 inc Vat, plus some postage costs!!

I've bought whole cars for less!!!

maybe I'm just a tight wad always hunting for a bargain!!

Anyone got any second hand shocks for a few bob and a crate of Stella!!

Or does anyone know somewhere else I might be able to go or a decent alternative instead of running Koni's??

Quote:
($535.08 for a set of 4 shocks/struts)
Which is about £270. But if I get stung import tax and with the additional postage costs there ain't gonna be much in it

Seemed ok. It said £10, and I was expecting £10 a shock, but when I went to shopping cart, it was £10 for all 4.
