Shocks (Again)

[Matt]

I recently got my car checked over because of a knocking from the passengers side wheel, somewhere. The mechanic said there's nothing wrong at all with it and it all looks mint underneath (Very happy). Although he did kind of suggest replacing my Oil shocks for Gas ones, as one is slightly leaking.

I've still got this knocking and we're 80% sure it's the shock, so I'm going to treat my Bravo to some new shocks, and hope it goes away - As I can't stand the noise.

I've been hunting around some websites for shocks in my price range. I'm going to get charged £50 to fit them so I don't want to pay more than £70 for a pair.

I've found a few that are in my range, can anyone suggest which I should go for?

Sachs (£60)
Boge (£60)
Gabriel (£35)
Monroe (£50)
Spax (£70)

Cheers

KYB were the others I forgot, which look nice.

Try this site www.buypartsby.co.uk for shock absorbers, they work out to be something like £15 (Oil) - £20 (gas) per shock absorber. They are made by KYB if i remember correctly. Which are standard on Lexus.
