Hey guys. Don't you think there are enough people out there having a go at us 4WD er's without us slagging each other off. A deal is a deal and if you find a good one then let people know. Anyone who is in business isn't going to complain about a little competition. If you know of a good deal somewhere then let us know otherwise it may be a good idea to keep your opinions off this site and out of public viewing.

What brand? Bunnings had the Chubb ones for that price... bought one for the truck a few weeks ago. Someone said a while back that the Chubb ones were better than some of the dodgy-no-name ones.

Came across another excellent deal on Friday..
EFS Shocks for the swb Safari Front & Rear $85+gst each..
Bellamy & East in ChCh.
At this price i dont believe they can be the same shocks as on the efs website(Not that you can get much info there)
However they are black with the correct sticker and have over 200mm travel,at that price they will get me going.. 8)

MudBum,
I take it these are the guys that manufacture their own springs etc? You wouldn't know if they make panhard rods by any chance?

Didn't have room to bring them back from oz, they were only $220ea with bushes :cry:
Might have to have some sent over, or get someone to mod mine for me.

Also, what was the extended length of the shocks you got?

Hi Dave,
Yes they are, "springs.co.nz" is their website.They make swaybars so if you contact Anton he will be able to sort you out.He also modifys stuff so you could ask him about that as well.
I got 50mm lift shocks and next week i'll get the springs to match. :P
