Hey guys,
I'm in need of a new pair of shocks for the FTO. The current left shock is completely gone (press done on it and it never comes up properly) and apparently you need to replace both at the same time?
What is the cheapest place to purchase them from? Also, would I need to replace springs if the shock has been gone for that long?
Cheers
Cheapest place to buy shocks?

Re: Cheapest place to buy shocks?
If the springs haven't sagged then they should be fine.
I can't tell you the cheapest place for shocks, but you should start by saying what you want from them, or is price the only consideration?
I've heard Boge shocks are well priced and compare to the higher end stuff quality wise. Pretty sure they make them for the FTO

even the guy Bennoz suggested (tubular suspension) wanted like $540 for the 4. - seems that's about market price.
