Shortened Shocks for touring springs

[GothicKidd]

Okay, so I took my car to mechanics to have a look over.. He mentioned how I should get shortened shocks to suit my springs.
What shocks should I go for? My springs are the touring springs by pedders ..
Also where would be the best place to purchase from? Theres not real local suspension dealerships around here..
Thanks

If the springs are heavy duty (heavier than std FE2) then give Monroe GT Sport a try (not GT gas).
The Sport are to be used with stiffer lowered springs and are designed to give these heavier springs a slightly softer ride.
The sport are a little too soft for stock or FE2 springs as they are purposely built to compliment heavier springs.

Im not too sure if the springs are heavy duty or not; I was looking at the Monroe GT sports a while ago..
Where would be a good place to order them from?

Cheers (:

Where abouts could I order them from? I live in a country town and closest city is Either Port Augusta or Adelaide

Bursons if you have one there, or on here through Greg from GSL Rallysprot. You could always check the KYB website for distributers nearby. I got mine from Bursons, they were the cheapest.

[GothicKidd]

Nah, had a quick search and theres no 'Bursons' in SA
Whats the real difference between KYB and GT monroe Sport shocks? I know ill able to get from pedders

Why not send Greg a quick pm and ask him that and for a quote? I'd avoid Pedders btw

Alright thanks, Any reason of avoiding pedders? :\

Just a personal thing, a few bad experiences and I've found better places.

You haven't said if your car is solid axle or IRS.
Anyway plenty of shocks/struts on ebay like:
