Might replace rear shocks on urs4 (4A5-513-031-A).

What are decent shocks for street use, OEM fit. I have koni's on the front, don't necessarily need koni's on the back, on a budget.

I am thinking middle range, KYB or similar.

any recommendations, after a bargain of course..

it's a long weekend man !

not likely to get any substantive replies until tuesday ;)

i'd stick to same type of damper all round.

If your existing rear shocks are currently also Koni, they may be able to rebuild them. If you are in Auckland, try George Stocks.

George stock quoted $350 per shock for konis, non in stock.

I found the replacement shock for this vehicle, Sachs 170141

Rock Auto is the place to get them cost for shipping was US$25, shipped to NZ in 5 days. The total order came to about NZ$370 so no hold ups, GST, or customs fees at the border.
