KYB gas shocks and new front wishbones, the bushes are not available seperately.

I'd do all the shocks, if they really are 58k old they will all be ****ed.

Smoother Ride

well I had the car at 39k and ive now done 58k so assuming they havent been changed i trust your word Tom.

Only reason i asked about which pair to change first in order of priority because of budget but i can get them fitted free!

Re: Smoother Ride

Tom , my car has had new shocks front and rear now (KYB-gas). After 62k on a P-plate the fronts were admittedly fekked, but the rears were fine-although the car had an easy life as it lived in london - not like my quality rallying roads in Norfolk. They looked worse for wear and were a nasty vomit green-Boge for you, but were just as well damped as the brand-new items. Maybe to do with the lack of load on a Bravo's rear end?
