FN2 Rear shock absorbers

[Oddball Adam]

Hi all, don't suppose anyone could recommend where to buy two rear shock absorbers for my 09 FN2 please?
I've been quoted £232 each from cox motor parts!
Cheers

Out of stock at ECP, but they aren't Sachs so wouldn't know what they are like anyway.

Cheers Loxy, now I know they are Sachs I found these, does the price seem reasonable?

Is that the correct Honda part number? You don't want to end up with shocks from another chassis number

Yeah, it's the part number Cox emailed me in their quote.

I might be too late but these are much cheaper here:

Just used them myself with no issues

Thanks for that post, £103 for the pair!
Delivery was stated as 24-48 hours but actually took 10 days.... got them though so cheers mate.

I'm looking to change rear shock absorbers as well.
I have got a quote from Cox £223 per piece.
Then I found below website £54.9 per piece only.

Does anyone ordered there?
It's trusty and and the quality will be the same as OEM?

Exactly the same ones I bought, like for like replacement. Postage took 10 days and I had to call them in Germany to confirm all my details but at that price it was worth it.

Useful thread for the future. I had one go at the rear but was lucky to get it replaced by Honda under used approved warranty last week.
