I spent around 6 months sussing out parts for my cra. Originally it was gunna cost around 350 just for the front shocks, my tip shop around, repco regualry has decent sales and as i said auto one, they fucked up my order by oredring in stock for a crown KYB doesn't even make shocks for rt142 yet they tried to sell them to me the rears were the same and hence I had to wait another two weeks for the monroes but it all worked out.
Even auto barn regularly has 10% of king springs.
Auto one stocks KYB Monoroe and a few other so i would try them for the shocks, they however quoted me 350 for the springs and thus went back to whiteline and got heavy duty standard ride height for 1609 a pair. The quoted me the same price for lowered, originally i was looking at lowering th car by two inches but backed away cos I was only gettin gnormal shocks or though the gT gas for the front are compatable with lowered springs. Many on these forums say it doesn't matter but at that stage I wasn't really as knowledgeable as i am now. My uncle helped install them as I he used to work for a alan jones pitstop and he kinda can do anything, cost a case of vb. I was quoted 70 bucks an hour at whitleline for fitting and they claimed a 4hr job. With complications ie having to drain oil from struts cos they were the originals and the gland nut needing to be sprayed with wd40 and still took a while to get off it took around that prob less.
Shop around and you will get a good deal. Also with repco if you know anyone with a NRMA goldcard they can get 10% off their
