There was a good response from the people who bought the KYB adjustables a while bach in a group buy. Match these with some eibach springs for a good set up.

*€312 approx
CARRIAGE: Add item to Shopping Basket to show carriage costs
(you can easily remove it)

...is this a good price ???

Also what do people think average life/mileage is on Original shocks before replacement ?? i'm on 57000 mi.

Any advice welcomed..cheers !

My MY00 was on 70k when I sold it, and they were still going strong.

That said, I was still on the original clutch too, so maybe I just didn't drive the car as enthusiastically as I should have. Shame it wasn't still on the original engine really!

Very reasonable, actually - £8900, for a UK car, 4.5 yrs old with PPP and Prodrive 17" wheels, 70k on the clock and a full engine rebuild 9k miles earlier.

I'm now driving around in a '97 Nissan Primera 2.0 SLX... and this
