hey, i got front shocks (munroe) for the mazda 3 from jurawans. they cost $400.00 per side.
Have been searching all over for these but only some other brand available that I have never heard of. No tokico, no kyb.

Was that for the front or rears? Could you say the part number(s) for them?

^^^ Thanks anyway. So did you install them yet? How's the ride?

For anyone else looking for shocks for the Mazda 3, apart from Jurawans I also found them at Mathura's ($500+vat fronts, $440+vat rears) and Automotive Supplies ($570 fronts & $373 rears, V.I.). The price I got at Jurawans was $442 for both the front & rear. All Monroe only - no KYBs or Tokicos anywhere.

Also Southern Sales have gotten the OEM shocks in: $1382 VI front, $1229 VI rear. Your choice as to which you want to buy.

installed the munroe front shock on the left side of the mazda 3. Had the vehicle aligned after and thus far works great. Quite surpeised how well the car handled after.
For the price, the munroe seems to be a good buy thus far.
