Jock I have a set off rear springs that suit your stiffer fronts,2'' over stock you can have for the cost of frieght but they are stiff,you won't get body roll but you won't get ride comfort or off road wheel travel either. Pat

Jock,
The price you were quoting would have been ex USA when the dollar was up. I had a set of Billies landed at my door for $465 Australian. Shocks were $65 USD each. The exchange rate was 96c at the time. This would make them much more expensive now.
I was quoted at the same time $900 plus $100 AUD freight from Perth and additional cost for any specific valving,so you can see why I got from the US. May not be as effective now.
I think I used shockwarehouse.com
Cheers
Craig

I was quoted around $1200 plus for Konis when looking, may have to keep this mob in mind for the future.
Billies were my second choice.
Thought I might bring this up again
I'm tempted by a set of Boss shocks?
Has anyone had any experience with them?
If not then it will probably be the Konis
XSIV has just put a set on his 130.. there is a review on the shocks on suspension stuffs website, the bloke that wrote it is on this forum..
cheers phil
Have you thought of buying from the UK. Looked up Paddocks website for some Bilsteins for a RRC and they are 52.50 pounds each. Even after you take into account freight, thats got to be cheaper than you can buy them here.
Thanks mate I must have missed thatQuote:
