    Default Need new Rear-End Shock Absorbers

    Alright, the rear end shock absorbers in my VN have had it.

    I need to replace them.

    I just got a quote for $180 for the 2 shocks made by Monroe. He said they were the standard shocks or something.

    Now, I need to ask.

    What kind of shocks should I get?
    What price am I looking at?
    Where should i get them?

    Considering I've got a VN with the FE2 kit

    People are too obsessed with how much "power" their car makes....it doesn't make power, it produces torque, from which this mythical "power" figure is calculated.

    I paid $110 for pedders comfort gas short stoke, so i could use super and ultra lows.
    dont pay anything over $180 let that be a max. See who you know perhaps a trade discount if they do it and your elegable

    wow thats alot for rear shocks. Surley you can get them for less. I bought some cheapies to get me running from super crap and paid way less than $100. But if you want good ones then get good ones, just double check prices around the place. Fe2 you can still run standard shocks, you wont need short ones.

    $130 for a pair of KYB shortened shocks to suit FE2 shipped to you. Will make standard Monroe look stupid...
