Just wanted to know what other people are paying, if im being ripped off because im in tas?
As its only my daily drive I think I just want the cheapest what’s my options?
DBA Front slotters - $220pr
King low springs - $380 all round
BOGE struts, shocks - $440pr front, $290pr rear
Do you think that’s a good price for the coils and discs?

If the Discs are fronts, then that sounds like an OK price compared to mine (AWD size though)

As for the others, does that include fitting?

I think EBAY could be your friend on all these parts.
I'm sure the springs on ebay are available for $2xx. The same seller also has discs for Magnas, although maybe not DBA Slotted.

And I put adjustable Koni's on the front of my wifes car for about $600 - so $490 just for Boge shocks sounds a little high.

Nope supply only, this is the first quote ive had for the coils and shocks.
Pity its not a first gen, I have all these parts sitting under my house from my GT.

If you can get DBA slotted for $220 a pair, I would buy them. I don't remember how much mine were, but I think list price on my TJ AWD was over $350.

Cheers!

Cheers people.
If I can have for the same price should i go Pedders or Kings?
All so how bad are the Gabriel shocks from SCA, at half the price remembering I don’t need/want the best.

I would definitely go Kings over Pedders.

I would stick with KYB or Boge shocks. Even if it's your daily, you wouldn't want to scrimp on shocks.

The benefit of slotted rotors is dubious on a daily. I would stick with a regular rotor and a good set of pads.

The slotters and ive got twin piston callipers coming are so I can nurse the auto a bit more (not so much engine braking)
Ok may be I still drive it hard. Right I shouldnt skimp on the shocks, but ill always wonder how bad could they be?
