FTO AUSTRALIA

anyone replaced rear shocks lately?
what brand are good?
im putting KYB's on the front ( $185 ea ?) as pedders quoted me $850 for koni's fitted. they also said koni were the only ppl who make them for FTO's.
i was told the rear shocks are the same as lancer ones, is this right? if so, what yr model lancer?

Bullshit. Pedders are full of crap. Mine has Tein rear suspension man.

You can get the whole set of KYBs, front and back, for a bit over $400.

The rears are the same as the Mirage.

thanks joejoe,
a whole set for $400? that sounds better. where do you get them for that price??

Precision Auto spares: 02 93166800

They're based in Botany - just give them a call for pricing.

Part numbers are:

Front L: 334154
Front R: 334155
Rears: 341140

All KYB Excel-G Shocks

those pt numbers were spot on, thanks joejoe.
mine cost $424 all up from Burson's $206 ea for the front and $129 pr for rear.
they forgot to take the invoice off, so i can see how much they cost from KYB, fr were $75.90 ea and rear were $95.20 pr total $271.70 all up. not a bad little profit for the resale. pity we cant buy wholesale.

How'd you get $424 total? $206 each for fronts and $129 for the rear pair - Total is $541.

That's pretty cheap for the rears.

ooooops. $206 was the R.R.P for the front and $129 each R.R.P rear.
i got em for $130 each, rears were $82 ea.

Bursons are the cheapest around here for most things.

Your next question is probably gonna be is there a DIY?

Sure is:
