Best bang for your buck with the Veccy is Boge, which are $155 each for the front, and $119 each for the rear.

Hi, where do you get these? Just enquired at a few places for rears - Pedders $385 pr plus fitting (Bilstein). Holdens $223 each (whatever makes them the most money) Sprint Auto - dont sell

That's either the Asian made B2/B4 Bilstein, which are rubbish, or if it's the German made B6/B8 then that price will be each... Although the later still seems a bit cheap for Pedders.
[EDIT] Sorry, just saw that was for the rears... That price from Pedders probably is the proper Bilstein.

They are really good, but our Veccy is back at stock height.

^^^ Definately this with that amount of drop.

Which is Boge ;)

Def's B8's. Any shock will do the job, but a monotube just does the job so much better when lowering to that level... B8's to suit are $389 each for the front and $235 each for the rear.
