New Dampers

[lexuspalma]

My right front damper has given up and now have to get a new set. Anyone got any suggestions on what kind to buy. Got a quote from Toyota and they were going to cost me over 400 Euros. I would like a more sporty feel. Or would it be better to change the whole lot?

Over here it costs us £100 to buy a set of OEM replacement shocks (either front or rear.) They are KYB Excel G shocks - might be worth seeing how cheaply you can source those.

400 euros thats steep. cant you get aftermarket ones.

Thanks for that. £100 is a bit more reasonable. Might as well change the lot and still save money. Everything here is so bloody expensive. Had my front discs changed last year and was around 400 Euros. Felt a right berk when I saw the price online.

The problem is every part is a lot more than in England. TYPICAL! Plus all the mechanics want to fit thier own parts not ones that have been bought by the owner.

Will source some in uk and get my mate to fit them. A lot cheaper paying in beer for fitting!
