Front Shocks Are F*$%#d

[SECURITY]

well these are my 2nd set of front shocks that have blown on me.

i just need a set of shocks that wont stuff up on me because now my ride feels like im driving a big assed kangaroo on the juice.

what are shocks i can get in sydney? im just looking for a firm ride, but dont really want to spend big $$ right now on suspension till i can get myself a pair of coilovers.

used doesnt phase me as long as they dont break.

What spring rates are you running? A really heavy spring will "break" a shock if they are not matched too well.

KYBs are an OK shock, not overly expensive, IIRC. You probably need a pair of 341287 KYB Excel-G shocks.

Why not just get the kit that SK has arranged. This gear would be the best bang-for-buck around. I'm running a similar set, and the handling is exceptional. The ride is firm, but not teeth-loosening.

according to bilsteins website some of their stuff has been known to last >250000kms

i'm also running these shocks, but modified for track, and yeah, amazing shocks.

yeah ive spoken to SK about grabbing a set off him, but i just want something a bit cheaper till i can get some coilovers OR a complete set off SK with swaybars etc, because i know if i only get fronts off SK now i wont get the rears and swaybars later on.

ill look into KYB shocks, i just want something to get me around.

thanks guys.
