I would appreciate a price check on the gabs as well, who sells them in NSW?, I bought some from pep's about 3 years ago but know they don't do them, only sh@t monroe.
What I realy want is a single front Koni insert, as my have only done 5000km and the front one has lost all gas but they want sell them singulary!
P.S. Any mods reading this please contact me as I want to change my email address, as I can no longer check the the current one but it says that my new one is alread in use! By some one else!

rung our suppliers today, Koni's only in [b]pairs[/]. not bloody cheap, external adjustables about $730 for the front and about $760 a for the rears. 
while good ol gabriels can be bought seperate at about $103 each for the front and about $108 each for the rears. (note this is what we sell them for over the counter).
i've got some rear adjustable KYB's that leak, i am hopeing i can get them rebuilt.

'gabs' (do you mean gabriels?), i dont know dont live there. it isnt too hard to pick up a phone and call any autopro, autobarn, supercheap, repco stores in your area to find out who sells what shocks is it?

GABs are a jap brand, completely separate from Gabriel (which I believ are the same parent company as Monroe but not 100% sure)
BTW fro shock reconditioing, try shockreco.com.au, which are TSR in Queensland. They can rebuild koni, gab, etc etc

I just bought the Eibach's locally, if I had to do it again, I'd probably just go for Kings...

That's good to know, did you go for the prokit or sportlines?
The eibach/tokico combination seems to be the combination to go with (for the money) according to the US mr2 guys? I'd be keen to hear of any cheaper Australian alternatives.
btw, can I ask how much you paid for your eibach's and where you sourced them?
