Quick 03 S Type R suspension question
Hey all,
So it turns out that both of my front shocks are leaking and need to be replaced My dealership wants to charge me $1,500(!) to replace them, a price which I am (understandably?) a little reluctant to pay.
My question is what make and model are the shocks (that work with CATS since it's an R), and from where should I buy them/what would it be reasonable for me to expect to have to pay for them? I know some local guys who can help install them, but I've had a devil of a time identifying the correct part and making sure that it will work with CATS. Thanks a lot!
Best,
Mike

That is a tough one!! I don't know anywhere to get the CATS replacement shocks except the dealer?? It is pretty rare that they are leaking?? I have heard of the lower mounts going bad and causing clunks. Have you verified that they are leaking? And both of them are?
If they need replaced I found them here for about $270 each which is a bunch better than $1500 for both!! Take a look. It does say 2003-2007 w/supercharger. But it also says back and it's listed under front strut.
