Default Geelong - Shockers? (Recommendation?)

Son has a Falcon Ute, circa XF (XG/H? - yeah, I know I am a lousy father, don't know which, but at least he is driving a Ford, other son is in a Commodore and is out of the will:-).

Anyway, he has lowered the front but wants to get the rear lowered.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good shockers place in Geelong?

would of thought they were leaf springs and you would have to get them re-set, not just shockers but I might be wrong

What sort of shocks does he want? If he wants any old crap go with pedders, but as mentioned above, Pole Position fit Konis if he wanted something more decent.

Whatever you do do not get anything from The Tyre Factory Geelong, they have an extremely bad reputation on everything they do
