Found these on ebay looks like reasonable price.
What do you think?

Sorry I am still in shock here ................................. pun fully intended ;) . I honestly had no idea they cost so much. I see that I still have lots to learn about performance parts and their pricing :cry: .

Looked at oem but they vary from 30 to 50 each so was looking at these which look far superior in comparison.
Open to suggestions on other options though.

Dmmit I was lucky as back in february ECP had a special one and bought a set of four Anschler shocks for very little about £55 the set.

Doing a quick search and trawl through the ebay vendors brought up a set of KYB shock absorbers fronts from one vendor and rears from another coming in at £139.24 delivered.

For GAZ adjustables, that doesn't look like an unreasonable price IMO.

Look at the price of Bilsteins, or for a real fright, Ohlins... !

Thanks guys, I think having the added ability to tune the suspension is probably worth the extra money.

Just be careful with the settings - don't be tempted to run them too hard! The upper damper mounts are not designed to take the loads transmitted by very stiff dampers. :)

Thanks Rob, I do remember reading that somewhere.
To be honest with the state of the roads around here I don't think I would want to even if I could!
