Mechanic said 3 shocks are leaking, and will need replacing before my next warrant. Obviously I will need to replace all 4, but which ones shoud I get.

Suspension is standard (I think), 97 prefacelift LEGNUM VR4.

I want to keep the ride quality the same, so will not change springs.

I know the part numbers are on here, somewhere. Can someone refresh me with them.

Question for the NZ guys, where is the best place to get the shocks, or an acceptable substitue/affordable upgrade.

Cost is an issue, unfortunatley, Warrant is due X-Mas Eve, great timing.

As always, your input is received with gratitude.

The factory shocks are rebadged KYB's, so you should be able to get some of them resonably cheap. :)

Where abouts are you?

There is a pitstop near the airport, I'd suggest getting a price from there and getting them to pick you up and drop you off :)

Bilstein B4 (OEM) - they'll give you better ride quality because they're gas rather than oil shocks.
