I have a full set of Dobi SuperLows for sale on TM (listed as 2 seperate auctions for front and rear), Just hit buy now on them if your keen http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=256865210 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=256865210) http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=256865211 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=256865211) Oh yes and you will need different (shorter) shocks for the rear, you may as well get new ones for the front too as you'll have to pull the front ones apart to swap the springs over.

You don't want to end up with some **** brand ones. Personally I would go for something like KYB's (which are the same price as Monroe's) or better if you can afford it. I have Monroe's in my VL, they're a lot better than the old shocks but I'm still not happy with them, especially the front ones.
