Hi all,
Has anyone purchased replacement shocks recently?
I need to replace the rear shocks on my V6 DC Vigo.
Currently sitting at 239 000 km and I certainly have never replaced the shock, and I don't know if the previous owner ever did.
I have extended shackles in the rear with only a mild 1inch budget lift and as such I'm also not certain if I will require extended shocks that cater for lifted vehicles at the moment I still have the standard black shocks fitted?
I have shopped around, and nobody has stock of the Monroe Gas Magnum 4x4 specific shocks that allow for extended / lifted suspension. (part no - 16-0842 )
Standard Gas Magnum rear shock priced at R1050 for a set.
Billsteins - R2500 per shock
Ironman - R2400 per shock
Armada Extreme - R2000 per shock
My local Midas only has gabriels (which I'm not interested in)
What are your suggestions, or are there any other shocks I can consider?

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

New quote on Billsteins - R1655 each for rear (from Goldwagen) Thanks Thabo
Rancho (Menlyn Supaquick sells them ) R4300 for two - fitted
Looks like it will be Billstein in the end.
