Replacement shocks

[Cormac_S13]

Looking for standard front shocks. Getting quoted silly money by Irish Dealers. They want approx £195 stg each. Can you guys recommend anywhere?

By the by, saved bundle of money on replacement fuel pump. Cheers lads.

cormac,

welcome on board m8

as for your shocks, if ya not that desperate for them then seriously consider getting them from the states.

i know the exchange rates aint brill at the mo but you get adjustables for the price of standard or maybe even cheaper.

cost is $389 plus shipping which was around $75.

So say around £465 the lot

Also their service was pretty good.

You could go for more expensive ones like Tokicos but I doubt if ya gonna use them to their max. The Tokicos are supposed to be better but I've spoken to loads of US guys (as my cousin drives a turbo's 240sx (2.4DOHC) and says they aint anything in it.

Every one buys the KYB AGX's.

Thats what I run, and I have em on HARD (the ride is wicked mate. Handles superb (considering I'm runnin puny 15" 195's) unlike most of the guys who run 215/235 17's.

Also I had order them on a Fri afternoon. They were on my door step via fedex 3 working days l8tr.

Norris Design sells KYB's but they aint adjustable ones.

There may be a distributor of AGX's in the UK but I dont know of one. Any one else know?


SE do Tokicos and their expensive if u ask me.

Thanks for the advice on the shocks Steve.
Have made contact with P-S-T guys in States.
