s_johnson Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hi, I need to get two new front shocks for my UK MkIV. My local garage said they are about £160 each, has anybody got any advice on where I can source them cheaper, or is this a reasonable price ? (I want to keep the car standard). Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 You could try a breakers yard? Or get some other shocks that will be just as good as stock shocks but cheaper. Try contacting someone like Chris Wilson or Leon Greene. others have their numbers. Toyota OE parts will always cost a million bucks. you can honestly get parts that are just as good or better from other sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just every so often they surprise you. I was quoted £190 a couple of months ago but that included fitting as well. cheers Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
