pls note the prices stated were up since 2005-2007
a lot has changed since those days... you will need to go around to ask what is the current price today. those can just be a guide for you to 'bargain' or at least know what prices were like back then.
it's not a fixed price list.

- Front Right part number : 331008
- Front Left part number : 331009
- Both Rear part number : 341311
- Got 2 types 14mm and 16mm. My ride should be using 16mm
- Price range for all 4 (S$510 ~ S$550) without installation
- Not sure need to change Mounting and protection kits or not (btw, what are these stuffs?)
- Can buy from the following shops :
Selegie Spare parts at Birch Road
Aik Huat Chop at Waterloo street
Yuan Thong
Chin Hon
Stockist like Tanly and Thian Seng
- Installation S$20/rear shock (front not sure) at Autosaver (infor from another local car forum)
- After change need to do alignment (about S$50 ~ S$70???)
These are the infor I gathered by doing a search in the local car forums.

Another source, Fong Ee, also told me that stocks are very expensive now hence, they wont forsee will be bringing them in for the near future.
Any bros have any luck on sourcing the absorbers at good rates pls share k.
Thanks lots!

Bght the original absorbers from Tanly today. Its their last few sets from their earlier stocks which they bght in at a lower price. Suggest whoever need to change better get from them quick before existing stocks are out.
Price is $185 per pcs for front and $65 per pcs for rear. Hence total cost is $500.
Bght the Lower arm bush for both sides as well. It comes in two pcs per side at $28 ($14 + $12).
Above prices are excluding GST. Cost me $594 in total.
Gng JB for replacement next week. Est cost for replace + Alignment is RM200.
For all bro's info pls!
