Default New Shocks arrived :)

Just received my new shocks today
(from the States-9 days from purchase)
Got all 4 KYB GR2s,The shipping actually cost
more than the 4 shocks BUT still way cheaper than I could get them for here in Australia @ $250 total.
(For KYB's here @ $400 or Monroe's @$340)
Now to find time to install them.

Same thing here! .. I paid $140 just for shipping 4 shocks to Doha, thats why I went a head and got 4 bilsteins instead of the KYBs, much more cost effective.

Greetings All,
Well I'm 1/2 way thru installing my rear shocks.
No problems so far (except crud & dirt).
Cheers
Gav

I've just finished installing my new KYB GR2s (Rear ones).
No major problems encountered.
All the rubber bushings on the old ones were cracked & falling apart.
It took a bit longer than expected,
(why do people only show up to have a chat once you start doing
something LOL) I had to clean a few parts & the backside of
the tyres before putting the wheels back on.
Haven't had a chance to try them out yet but they
have to be better than the old ones.
Now to tackle the front ones.
Cheers for now,
Gav
