Roo Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) ok and how much to buy? they are about 1200 to buy new from agays without brakes, 1k from here http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/in...showtopic=21026 you can get second hand but then you never know if the shocks are good or not you would want to run jdm brakes so add another $300 or so for them, and you also need steering knuckles (powersteering ones are around $200) Edited August 21, 2008 by Roo Quote
