New ones aren't that expensive and make a big difference - if you can find them at a reasonable price, I'd recommend the KYB rally dampers.

Westie = West Auckland
Mikuni (Brad) is in Hamilton, but he hasn't posted much here of late as he's into Vectras now.

Dinsdale in hamilton car isnt driveable as have no rear shocks, would prefer secondhand as a will be just pushing the bushes out of the front shocks and putting my rear bushes in to make it capitive, have commodore lowered monroe shocks which are 580 fully extended need around 500mm to make it captive

Has anyone recently brought new front shocks for a chevette gemini, If so where had a quote from autolign of 210+Gst which seems abit steep, have sorted my rear shocks now my fronts are starting to knock.
cheers

There're dampers (shock absorbers are technically the springs) and there're dampers - budget may be around $150 a pair up to thousands for top end 4 way adjustables.
What do you want from them - as I've said before, I rate the KYB rally ones highly, if you can find some.
Don't forget repco and the other auto' parts stores and some wheel/tyre shops may also have a line.
