REAR SRINGS
REAR SHOCKIES
REAR CAMBER BUSHES
FRONT STRUT BEARINGS
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
FRONT LINK PINS
FITTED $1778.15

do i really need all this crap just for super lows??? its a bit pricey. i was thinkin of buying this instead http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HOLDEN-VS-V6...640558233QQcategoryZ55436QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem which has coils and the rear shoks n front struts.. are the other things really necessary? ....... Surley Pedders cant be that much better den kings there both top brands with a big price difference. what would u recomend. Thanks

Kings are cheaper but pedders provide smoother ride with better handling

That is an expensive quote - should be about 900-1000

yeah i went to a diffrent discount auto parts dis arvo an tha bloke their said he quoted me wrong he musta quoted me 4 the top qualityy **** either that he tried to rip me off. nah her rekons be round 1500 fitted which im happy to pay if the handlin is good. Is it good bec? u got pedders ay

I've found pedders to be far better, as have other people who have been in my car. Others on this forum will disagree, but that will happen - it's a fact of life. Just trust me

This is from a quote I got last year (I asked for regular retail price):

Rear sportsryder shocks - $210 pr
Front sportsryder springs - $164 pr
Rear sportsryder springs - $198 pr
2 point camber kit - $152
Wheel alignment - $80

Labour for this (including front struts) - $395

Strut bearings are normally about $100 pr
Nolathane link pin kits are about $35 from Supercheap

Just remember that you should never pay retail price for anything
The final quote was over $1600 - I paid about $1100 for the setup
