Hi guys!
I was wondering if anyone would know of a guy website to get a pair of rear shocks to fit ssl springs, also with Solid Rear Axle (that’s where it gets hard ).
Also preferably for a price that doesn’t break the bank lol.
Thanks in advance.

If you look on eBay short rear shocks or lowered rear shocks for vs there's a few cheap brands.

I've used the Australian autoline ones and I prefer there hd ones to Monroe.

There's Gabriel , webco , ultima etc

I've fitted all three of those brands and not had issues. Hard to tell you what ones are better , but they've all improved on the really bad ones that I'd replaced.

All of them are $100-150 delivered.

Basically shorter range shocks for sedans without metal collar in middle of bush to fit over stud mount on diff...sedans have smaller nut & bolt through bracket on diff.

Pedders or superpro(?) do shorter bumpstops which are a must.

Thanks man, I’ve seen the ones on EBay & I’ve sorta just left that as a last resort because I’m a little sceptical on buying parts off eBay lol

They're legit...parts imported generic stuff...quality seems ok as everthing I've bought off them seems to fit & work ok considering how cheap some of the parts are compared to others.

They used to be short drive away untill moved to larger warehouse they're at now.

Only thing I won't buy is the springs as I don't like kings springs...got 2nd hand freebies of that brand & hated them so much took them out an hour later.

I don't mind king's as long as there the HD or EHD. Normal ones are just way to soft. The Lovells and dobinsons are my favourite.

Lovells are awesome. I have Lovells all round and was told they would be not much different to factory. But I can say the difference is unbelievable. I used to skip all over the road if I hit corros now I can cruise over them and stay on my side of the road and not even get shaken around like a bastard, like I used to.
