How Much!!!
as i said earlier i bought the alloy shocks & fitted the kit internals & springs to them & they are a huge improvment on the kit shocks
to do the same you need these - both are about £10 a pair
201000039 - 95mm shocks for the rear
201000037 - 75mm shocks for the front
(you could also use the 85mm if you want more to tune the travel using spacers & o-rings on the shock shafts, personally i'm running the 85mm shocks & have put a collar on the shaft on the inside of the shock to limit the travel)
simply take these apart so you are left with the metal shock bodies, then strip the kit shocks & replace the shaft, piston & bottom eyelet & refit the springs from the kit shocks onto the alloy bodies, you could just refit the springs & bottom eyelet if you prefer to save yourself the hassle of stripping the whole shock down if you don't feel confident but as the springs that come fitted on the alloy shocks are pretty solid, they are no use nor ornament. you will need a 2mm spacer or a couple of small washers for the top of the shocks so they stand-off the shock towers.
