installed KONI "Active Frequency Selective Damping" shocks on my Multivan

Gross 3000kg =T30

Tig, or anyone, what is the deal with import tax and import regulations ?

You should get a VAT credit when you can prove to the seller that the items were sent out of the UK & then you will have to pay GST.

Thank you!!

The Rear shocks are very cheap and easy to install, as the mounting bolts are very accessible, I had them done by a local mechanic. I recommend getting the rears at least if you do not have the budget for the fronts.
The Front Struts I installed at an official VW dealer in my area, after a brief discussion to talk them into installing a 3rd party product that I brought in with me, price was reasonable. I was getting much higher quoted installation prices from "koni partners" locally.

Despite what the scoreboard says the Multivan pushed the V250d in every department. But it was let down by missing curtain airbags and lacking the final veneer of sophistication that the Mercedes displays :rolleyes:
