New rear shocks needed

[yourtheguy]

Hi all anybody know where i can get a new set of rear shocks for my 06 V8V from, other that AM themselves.
Had a scan on the old web but not a lot of joy.
If anyone has had a set of genuine ones fitted recently how much were parts please.

Thanks Simon.

If you go this route, don't just change the back ones

very true and makes sure you do the geometry a month or so after

Job done set of Nitrons ordered, small tear in the corner of my eye £2300 mind Stradstone wanted £420+ VAT each or they did offer the sports pack with a set of wheels for £3820+ VAT can't buy with out the wheels.

Which ones did you order and where are they being fitted? Is the £2,300 inclusive of VAT?

[yourtheguy]

I ordered the R1+ set which used to be called the sports pack, £2300 is inc. vat and the postage.
I'll be fitting the set myself but i will need to find someone to do all the adjustments for me, i will put a post on here to find someone nearer the time of fitting.

Thanks. Interested to see how you get on with this and the changes it makes.

I live as far west as you can go in Wales and the roads to work are not the best, with the shot shocks on the back she just wants to dance around on the road.
I had a scooby before and that loved the roads.
Once they are fitted and all the settings are done i will report back with my opinion of the set up.

Whilst you are in bits I'd grease the front caster bolts
Also don't forget to retorque it all with the suspension loaded or all your bushes will complain
