Rear shocks

Post by bkeo »

Im just wondering where in Cork would be the best place to get rear shocks for a mini and how much would they cost.
Im not looking for anything too expensive

If your putting standard shocks,just order them through your local motor factors and any mechanic can fit them.You could try it yourself as it,s not a difficult job,the drivers side is straight forward but on the passenger side you need to move the pertrol tank out to get to the top of the shock.

10" is enough for any man.

A set of Spax Adjustable shocks fpr the rear cost about £45 + postage from the UK, or you could contact Chuck in Minibitz in Cahir.
