Default MOT Fail

1st fail the S has had. After changing discs and pads all round and 2 new tyres this month already, I'm a bit poor.

Does anybody know where to get some rear shocks that wont get me in trouble with my bank manager?

She is booked it to have them fitted by the garage and his best quote was Koni's at £135 each plus £100 fitting

I have not tried Honda yet or a search as I am at work.

Any help would be most appreciated

Thanks
Marc

There is a group buy for Gaz coilovers in the For Sale section at £495 including delivery. That's a little bit cheaper

Like I said Wobbly, I really dont have much cash to spare this month. The coilovers would be nice but I cant stretch to them this month

Do you know if these will fit an AP1?
Also I really only need the shocks - not the springs or the fronts!

The shocks will fit an older car, but might have slightly different damping characteristics.

Get in touch with Rob would be easiest I think.

eBay is normally full of breaking S2000s.

I sold a set of low milers for less than the cost of one of your new items. On here.
Post a WANTED in the sales page?

I've got both full rear suspensions from a 2007 if you want to make an offer?

Fits all models

Thanks
