IIRC they are only available from Vxl new, and are £160ish  :o

You may be lucky and find one S/H, but you can never know how long it will last.  :-\

Best to replace in pairs if at all possible,although realistically,many people are on a tight budget these days.

You couldpull he fuse from the self levelling and use standard shocks.Problem then may be that the S/L springs may be too soft,so you need a pair of non S/L springs also.

I can probably sort you out with a set of nearly new non-s/l shocks and matched springs if you need them mate.  :y

Tango, if you want to stick to the S/L setup, then I can't help you mate.  All the sets I have here are non-S/L.   :(
