This is almost certainly a repeat,

My Black ARX fOuR needs new shocks, is very black ;)

No one stocks or sell...OEM import or otherwise, there was some interesting convo back in the day but it does not seem to hold up on how/when/where to source parts in 2020.

Yes, I will pay for coil-overs, but where the fark do I find a compatible set?

You don't say where you are but a competent suspension shop (not Peddars) should have some options for you.

Search and you will find.

Thanks Kiwi,

WackyRacer is a Tasmaniac; which severely limits choices available to me. I've been waiting 2 weeks for quotes on parts suppliers from multiple (count at least 6) suppliers as far away as Sydney (I'm in Hobart) as literally nobody down my way even knows where to start.

Got lucky today though, Sinergy Automotive in Adelaide know their business and have helped me with drive-train issues in the past, (you would not believe what a minor leak in the HICAS power steering assembly can do).

OEM replacement rear shocks at $260 each plus $50 freight from rAdelaide.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
