Front Shocks

Post by Roo » Sat Nov 17, 2007 6:55 pm

I want to replace the front shocks on the turbo as part of its restoration. I've already got new springs but the shockers are past their best. Does anyone have any recommendations? :)

I went for KYB gas something or other. Good price, but gas instead of the standard oil.
