If you can find someone with a tradeclub card the rears are £42+vat and the fronts unfortunately are £110+vat.

remember though that you're not buying just 'stiffer' shocks for that, what you're actually buying when you get MV6 shocks is a set of police issue dampers.  £360 is quite reasonable when you cosider the price of some of the aftermarket 'performance' shock sets for the car.

It's the price of the springs that'll give you a nose bleed!  :(

To confirm, there are two spec of MV6 shocks.

One came on the civvy cars, the others were fitted to the police cars ;)

that's true of course, but I think that on the latest EPC3, the part has been up issued to one unit for all police/heavy use applications.

I might be wrong though.
