    Monroe GT gas shocks all round $350, king springs or lovells $350- $400, labour $240ish. You may or may not need a camber kit depending on the level of slammage. With a VY I doubt it though

    For a KYB (which are FAR better than Monroe) shock and King Springs combo for the VY, you're looking at $675:

    I have noticed that they all lower to different heights... Me and my mate both have VY's with same springs yet his sits a little lower... i reckon SL's in front and SSL's or SSSL's for back... Ultras are really rough and can barely get anywhere also lower it under 10cm ground clearance

    SL's and SSSL's in the rear? The car would be ass down.

    You want SL's (Front) and SSL's (Rear), If you want it lower. Go SSL's (front) SSSL's (rear).

    Dont need to do the shocks right away either, They'll last for a good while.

    You say KYB are far better than Monroe, can you tell me why? Which model KYB and Monroe are you comparing?

    KYB Excel G is far better than Monroe GT Gas. Monroe GT Sport would be equivalent to KYB and are a good shock, but generally they're a fair wack more expensive than the KYB's. The KYB is just a superior shock to the GT Gas in terms of quality and performance, and made in Japan.
