Thanks guys, after reading what you said gary I looked into it a bit further and I think you are right about the kyb maybe being a better option for me, due to the fact they have 8 click settings, rather than the infinately adjustable konis. Also thanks Boags, after looking around a little I have found they are also much much cheaper to get them ex usa. On that note boags, can you suggest anywhere to get them from the us? I have found car-parts.com can do them for about US$430 inc frieght which works out to around AU$550.
Thanks guys
Koni adjustable Vs monroe or similar on na6

I guess alot of people are making money off them on the way. To buy an item such as kyb for example in aus they pass through several hands before they get to yours: Kyb usa(manufacturer) - kyb aus(importer) - ngk spark plugs(aus distributor) - place such as gsa, fulcrum whiteline etc(state distributor) - auto parts store(autobarn, repco, supercheap etc) before they get to us the end user.
Therefore they get expensive. I bought them from the site recomended by boags, they cos US$359.99 ~AU$480 including frieght. Now I just have to wait and hope the guy is honest enough and seds them
Buying them from the seller on ebay they would go: KYB USA - Ebay Seller - ME eliminating sveral exchanges along the way (sry Mr middle man/men) but much better for my pocket
Ill let everyone know if they ever turn up or not
