    that the fronts only.

    A guy in SA is running commodore one in his MA61, slighltly shorter then the factory ones to suit stiffer lower springs.
    If in doubt power out

    Well gee I wonder why the $470 delivered front end Koni shocks are higher quality than the $380 delivered full set of Tokico's...

    The mind boggles...

    Hence why Tokico should be able to make a decent shock for the MA61 eh

    **NEWS FLASH!!!**

    I called fulcrum suspension today to discover you *CAN* get the Koni yellow front strut insert to suit MA61/ RA60/ RA40/ RA28 etc IN AUSTRALIA.

    It has a part number of 86-1991 SPORT

    At a cost of $500 (im in the car club so that was a 25% discounted price) so that makes full flag a tad over $600...

    blake

    Ha, cos you've ever driven either of those cars with new factory shocks. You can't compare brand new stuff to 15-20yo stuff.

    They might have been low km, but they were still 20 years old. I think JCMF's point stands.

    Might want to change rear lows to KTRL-27 and standards to KTRS-27. I had the lows and these numbers were taken off my springs and from the kings catalogue aswell.
