Ok, I have a Corolla Runx - NZE121 model. I went for my WOF and failed due to r/h rear shock leaking. Now, since I have adjustable Suspension in my car, the only quote I have so far has been rather high, around $600-750 for a Bilstein replacement and since I know it is advised to get both right and left done, I could be looking at $1200-1500.
I was just wondering, does that seem like a decent price! Any comments appreciated! Also perhaps recommendations for cheaper options.
Thanks!

being bilstiens, I would have a chat to chris at suspensiontech in auckland, he may be able to rebuild them cheaper than new.

the shocks I have in the car are a brand the guy at the Shock Shop hadn't heard of. But I'll go and see Chris tomorrow afternoon and get his opinion. Thanks for that!

How bad is it leaking!
New WOF requirements show it has to be practically dripping on the ground for it to fail now rather then just weeping/dirty. Would have to be well stuffed (and you'd notice the ride quality gone downhill) for it to leak that bad.

Well I haven't noticed any difference in the ride at all to be honest. I haven't seen any dripping or moisture anywhere on the ground.

Give them a quick clean, take it back, and mention to them the new WOF Standard that has came out for leaking shocks.
