Default Re: replacing AU sII XR8 ute suspension

That's not a bad price for the lot, but the rears are useless to you. You would need to ask them for a quote on the Fr and Rr shocks plus Fr springs and get a price on resetting your rear springs.
I don't see anything wrong with using Monroes, have used them myself and they do what is expected of them.
You can try these guys for the Fr Springs http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Falc...item416e5ac507
They also have the bushes http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Falc...item416e9b7942
and, these people seem to have a good selection http://stores.ebay.com.au/Suspension...id=p4340.l2563

As to bushes, are you considering the plastic type or the original rubber ones? Personally I wouldn't touch those plastic ones but to each his own. I recently put a new set of rubber ones in the front of my AU XR6 and replaced the ball joints, rides really well. The main thing I did was to replace the upper control arms with BA ones and used the brackets from an XR6, longer bolts and a thick spacer/s that seems to help.
