    You'll be amazed at the ride once they're replaced Air strut replacement
    Not to mention if they were gone before I bought it, I'd be none the wiser because I've only driven one D4, the one we have..

    All ordered $2160 + import taxes(GST).
    Probably could have ordered one at a time to save the 10% but i don't have that long to wait... Most likey would have increased shipping anyway.

    Land Rover originals. Duckworths air freight and apparently customs send you a form asking for a invoice then you get a bill. Trying to find a way to fast track that but doesn't look like there is one...

    You are very optimistic. My experience is that once the shipment reaches Oz it can take up to 4-5 days before it is delivered.
    I will be watching this thread re fitment and your experience with the difference before and after.

    Still waiting to get mine. Short on $$ as have fitted roof rails, cross bars and an awning.


    Mine is at $208k km and definitely needs to be done.


    What % are import duties does anybody know and does GST get paid on top of the duties or just the items plus shipping costs?

    Fitting is pretty easy for the fronts. When you get around to it, we found access to the back nut easiest from the top with a wobble bar.
    I'm not so positive about the genuine LR shocks. Less than 100k on mine and they were over-extending (as per the other thread). Given this performance, it didn't make sense to pay twice as much for these than OEM.
