Im not sure. I mightnt be able to make it this monday as i am in the middle of an assesment period, cant afford to miss a day. So take them out and have a look what condition they are in and let me no honestly how they are. we can work something out form there. i would pay 100 but cheaper would be even better.
cheers

go for gabriel red ryders......about $35 each from supercheap.
thought they were gonna be shite, but there the best h/duty shocks for a budget.....
and you can then take your time in getting the monroe's...

Just rang super cheap, 33 for the rear each, and 49 for the front each. Apparently they are the same shock to use with lowered or stock heights.

mine were ordered through supercheap in sunshine, can get the part numbers...i think.....shouldnt be so expensive for the front.....are you sure they're the same?
still, its better to buy new ones than to fuck about with old shit.
if you play with shit, all you get is dirty hands...
and remember, as with all things, garbage in, garbage out.
think about it.

I dont ususally settle for shit but im in a hurry so had comprimise. They had to order in the fronts as they didnt carry them, might see hoe much the fronts are elswhere.
