Mike Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just paid £400 for two rear Toyota one's fitted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I swapped a set of function but used shocks and springs for lager and chocolate last week, you might find someone on here with old stuff to get you buy until you can afford to do it properly, having said this the fitting costs make this an expensive way of doing it unless you have a cheap mechanic.

michael Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Put a 'wanted' ad up for someone's old but functional stuff, lots of these rich chaps like to chuck £1000+ at some pretty suspension to replace stuff that has a bit of life in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need4Speed Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Change both the rears. I'm surprised you didn't notice the marginal handling. Konis are very good and don't cost much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
