| Post subject: | Importing shocks from the US. |
Looking to fit new springs and shocks vor my Vitara, I'm interested if anybody has imported shocks from the US. I'm thinking about buying 4 Bilsteins from here http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm ... _year=1995, with a set of 4 costing $458 ex shipping. I've asked them to provide shipping costs, not sure what it will be but a few people have had good things to say about them on other forums. Anyone care to comment? |

F4-B36-1588-H0 x 2 i can see why you want to import them , 4-V36-0399-H0 would cost me $270 each before selling them on

Finally got a reply out of these guys. I think my gmail email address was being blocked on their end. Anyway, they can supply the shocks for $860, including fitting. I'd also need springs, but would source them locally. The other option I'm thnking about is one of the Ironman kits, such as this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/IRONMAN-35mm-SUS ... 2a08f098d4 A bit cheaper, and for what I'll be doing in the vehicle, probably sufficient. Decision, decisions... |

There is no comparison between ironman and bilstein in terms of shockers, the bilstein are far superior, they are also a different construction being mono shocks. I run bilstein in my Disco and think they are great, a little firm, but great quality. I got mine at a great price from suspension stuff in Brisbane, but a lot of LR owners get them from the US.
