Welcome to AZ mate.
I suggest putting up a build thread in the rigs section with a bit of a run down of your car eg: vitara, sierra, jimny etc

i paid 79 fronts each and 95 rears for mine from memory.then some new bushes etc but mine were at a small discount. and commy,hilux shocks.makes for a cheap lift but i dont think the commy,hiace/lux shocks are ideal

My OME rear shocks actually limit travel with my 40mm lift. I reckon go with the commo/hiace your talking about. I had them all round until I shagged a rear and threw the OME shocks in instead. Still flexes nice though. Just not quite as far.

back on the 11/4/2008 i paid
fronts $88.18 each + gst
rears $97.27 each + gst
if you haven't ordered them yet, maybe have a look into doing a RUF. Not a hard mod, with great results, plenty of tech up online about it and it means you will only need to buy two rear springs.

That sounds about right. Was happy with my OME, Commodore, Hilux setup until one of my rear springs bent like a banana. They've only been in a year and a half, and I hav'nt really done any extreme 4wding. I'm tossing up wether to take it up with ARB even though they're 6 months out of warranty or fint in a differant brand of rear springs.
