    Got some decent cheap shocks from here: http://www.monroeshop.co.uk
    Got the sensatrac ones.

    Anyone recommend a garage in sligo that would fit for reasonable price?
    What would be a resonable fitting price?!!

    Thanks

    Probably will be similar as with tyres.
    If you bought shock yourself, they will tell you to go and fit them yourself.
    Otherwise if any garage will agree to fit them they will ask for some crazy price.

    I also got 4 new shocks, 4 springs, and 2 wishbones. But I fitted them myself in couple of hours.

    probably right. maybe the dealer/garage i bought the car off is my best bet. Although alot of tyre places will fit for tenner wheel now...which is ok if you saved a packet on good tyres online. Mybe the same is true of other parts...

    Might give it a shot but would get it done by garage if price was less than 80 or is that wildly optimistic!

    You should get them fitted for 80, there is a reason they were cheap but for the back of a corolla they'll do nicely

    For the front (previous owner had back ones changed with some heavy duty ones for towing trailors :eek:

    But i guess same sentiment applies to the front?!

    Ah yeah, they'll do :) Monroe are fairly sh1t though compared to Boge or any other OE standard shock.

    Figured as much for €125 delivered for 2! will hopefully be better than my 165K leaking toyata ones!
