i've found a place near newcastle that will sell me a set of billies, delivered to my house for $625 with a 3 month warranty...

KM are uncertain as the place that i'm getting them from imports them from japan

does this sound like a good deal?? (i think i may be able to get them a little cheaper if i tell them i'll be advertising them on this forum)

i'll tell you guys more about the place once i've got them (don't want anyone to get in before me and get these billies)

Are these new or second hand? im guessing second hand for that price? GTB spec? stock springs? sorry for the questions lol, this might be an option for me when i get around to buying some

For a set of 2 or all 4 Tristan? Including springs?

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.

It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

second hand... all 4... i believe with springs... i've actually been thinking... seen as i only need rear shocks then i might ask if he can split them and i'll only buy the rears... (i have some V4 STi struts/springs sitting in my garage) if he can't split them, then the STi struts and springs are (still) for sale

Get all 4 you spanner. Why run mismatched struts when you have the option of all 4? That price sounds reasonable though, as long as they're in good condition.

Go and inspect them. Perhaps take someone along with you. Also as it has been said, Don't mix and match spring and damper rates front to rear. Your car will be all over the shop.

And Blaeven how did you find this place if i may ask?

i went to some online "find parts for my car" site (they send out emails on my behalf to heaps of places) and asked for Billies for a gen2 97 liberty...

i got the reply from cardiff in 2 days...

then i called him...

if you get the chance can you check them out for me... as i won't be able to check them out untill they are sent down (i'm yet to source some funds, but shouldn't be too long)

although, they do come with a 3 month warranty...
