2006 V8V shock replacements

Happily, my 2006 V8 Vantage just finished and passed its annual check-up. But my dealership's mechanic indicated the car's shocks may require future attention...saying there was a "slight leak from all four shocks, no drips just wet." The dealer's price for 4 replacements and installation was "shocking," so I'm for other potential suppliers and an independent repair place to put them on.

I hope somebody can offer advice or direct me to other suitable sources for shocks that work. Thanks!

Rich, can you give any info on these? Since there are other adjustable coilovers on the market, what are the relative strengths/weaknesses of your offering?

So, for the cost of 4 new shocks from Aston, we can get Rich’s coilovers? (Smile)
