Not been quoted yet.

These are MV6 (sports/lowered chassis) shocks.  The lowering is done on the shocks, not the springs, so they are different.  They are not self levelling (air) type.

Nope, not used the car really.  Also, passed MOT fine (as shocks aren't leaking). Just want to get it sorted now.
