Kenny, unfortunately we don't have anything like the supply of secondhand parts that you chaps do. I've already searched for air shocks and didn't find any. Over here Progressive products are pretty expensive, compared with Stateside, hence my recommendation of Hagons (which are probably expensive over there!).

Hagons are very reasonably priced over here, my Nitro's were around $500 delivered to my door'
That's about the price of Progressive's, but the Nitro's are quite a bit better shocks than the Progressives.

If you haven't done so speak to them on the phone, so you get the most appropriate springs to suit you and any passenger you may carry. They were very helpful when I ordered ours.
