Number 1 - There is an FAQ sticky above with a section specific on shocks. Have a read... any further questions, then by all means ask...

P.S. I had TJM 2000 shocks. Seemed pretty good

Thanks Heath,
I was just hoping to cut down on reading through all the crap to find what I was specifically after.

soo...without much more than a few brands and any other important details, would anyone like to help me out?

thanks all...

Luke

PS, Heath, where abouts on the coast are you? My girlfriend lives at Labrador and I'm down there every second weekend...

The purpose of the FAQ is try and provide a insight so the same question isn'y asked a million times.

shocks are one of those things. Unless your trying to get more articulation out of the rear (which is the only place you will), any decent shock will do. The high end of the scale used to be Koni, but the dont produce shocks for the Feroza anymore (IIRC). The TJM shocks were good, and matched the custom leaf's I had well. Ultimate Suspension at Nerang have some things to do with Feroza's..... Ben (i dont think he works there anymore) was the one who owned the 11 sec Feroza with turboed SR20..... Shocks are shocks until you start wanting more from the suspension. [/quote]

Bilsteins will cost around $800 for four. Quadrant Suspension in Melbourne is the Aussie distributor AFAIK. They've got a website www.quadrantsuspension.com.au IIRC?
