    Default Rear Shock absorbers - cheapest? (Adel)

    Hey all,

    We got our mate a cheapo 98' Commodore VT at a auction, drives well but needs new rear shockers. Whats the cheapest way we can get these replaced?

    Could anyone recommend a place in Adelaide that can do it pretty cheap? Also would it be cheaper if i bought some shockers myself and then just paid somebody to install them? If so, what ones should we get?

    Anyone help would be much appreciated thanks!

    Mate changing the rear shocks in those cars is a piece of piss, a true 10 minutes each side job. Jack car up, chuck chassis stands under, undo single bolt on bottom of shockie, open boot, take top nut off, slide off dishes and rubbers, and it falls out. Reverse for installation.

    GSLRallySport are a sponsor here on the forums, they are very cheap and have quick postage. I and many others here have bought from them.
