what price do they go for? i have no clue!

whats the situ with the front shocks, from the manual they are rebuildable? ie you can change the fluid & the seals are probobly available from nissan?

or can i by inserts for them?

you can get kyb inserts for the front (kyb P.no 365013), although they seem to be hard to get these days.

for the rears, you can fit mk2 escort uprated rear shocks if the car is lowered for bout £110 pair on ebay, I think kennyboy from this forum has a set on his, if its not lowered then i prolly wouldnt use them as they are shorter and help with lowered loose springs only

on a side not, if kenny reads this, did the escort shocks make much difference to handling???

Cheers.
