Reasonable Cheap Shock Absorbers?

I was told that the bils that e shock sell are made in the US and not europe and the quality is not the same i find this hard to be true .

I would like to find a good supplyer of koni shocks but cant sem to find one who has the shocks i want 80 series fronts ..

well I haven't had any dramas with my terrafirmas big bores yet..they cope really well when towing the camper and in fact perform better when we are towing it.

How long have you had them and what model are they on please? Have you used them off road or over much corrugated stuff?
Cheers

Someone else also fitted them on there car but cant for the life of me remember who..my suggestion to you would be to use the search function as they have been talked about quite a bit on here

Proven Products at Albury.

Talk to Jeff, they are one of two Koni importers for Australia and Jeff knows his stuff and has excellent stocks. (I assume you're after 82-2385's ?)

Best budget shocks: Dobinsons or Lovells. The end.

Yep, standard Koni Heavy Track 80 Series shock is an 82-2385.
Also remember you can get an 88 and 90 version (the 90 is a RAID) which are bigger bore shocks with a bigger price tag.

I've run some modified/re-valved ones for years now. Good damper, with a touch under 10" stroke (you can get 10" out of them with an internal modification but you lose the external adjustability)

:cool:
we have Terrafirma front shock tf116 and Terrafirma rear shocks in stock right now all 4 at a cost of $ 380 or $ 95 each plus freight delivered free if in Perth metro I have included a link if you would like to know more Terrafirma All Terrain Shocks | Shock Absorbers - All Terrain Shocks Accessories for Land Rover Vehicles
