I just got mine over the counter at a specialist suspension place. I was happy with the price at the time but now I would probably shop around a bit more and go for something a bit better than "standard"

I bought Konis at Jim Hunter Suspension in Blacktown. His price was the same as the distributors in Albury quoted, but those dudes wanted another $20+ on top for freight... :lol:

Quality costs $$$, how much would you like?
Konis are adjustable, AND rebuildable. They outlast most cars.... :lol: 8)

$40 a corner would be good. My other car has adjustable yellow konis. But I cant how why mega shocks are going help a dry suspension Moke given that the cone bahaviour isnt linear anyway. Controlling weight transfer isnt going to be limiting factor in its handling.

This car will do 3000km a year tops. So the rebuilding shocks isnt a concern.

Anything cheaper availble for the rears?

I've had Pedders shocks on the front of my `matic for 10 years now, still good after 75,000 miles.
I think they are around $60 each... :wink:
