Replacing shock absorbers

Post by pachanga231 »

One of rear shockers is leaking on my estate, its a executive style which are factory lowered.
Obviously ill be getting both shocks replaced, question is what brand should i go for. ECP brands or something different and what's the approx costs? I know there will be cheaper makes out there via independent motor factors but wanted something quality that im not having to replace a year down the line.

Also when replacing shockers is there any other suspension part i.e top mount that i can check for wear that's worth replacing at the same time?

TIA
