Except they're not a shop? They don't sell directly to the public and therefore probably don't actually have retail prices. Only wholesale or trade. Try one of the online retailers or something. Personally I'm using Britpart airsprings and am quite happy with them. Didn't like their shocks so after a while changed to Boge which I think are OEM.

I replaced mine with Boge OEM from Island 4x4 recently:

Front Shock Absorber (Boge) x1 STC3672 G Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.
Rear Shock Absorber (Boge) x 1 STC3671 G Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

Less than £100, including next day delivery, and their courier always texts in the morning with a 1 hour delivery slot (round my way anyway), and they've never got it wrong yet.

Before you spend any serious money check your tyre pressures, and I don't mean take it to the local supermarket. Buy yourself a digital pressure gauge and get a true 26 psi in the front and 34psi in the rear.

Are you prejudiced against all forecourt guages, or just the supermarkets? I've been quite happily checking my tyre pressures regularly for the past 20 years at the forecourt (although I never use supermarket fuel). Are you really trying to tell me that the guage at my local BP garage is going to be less reliable than any reasonable alternative?

Which or some such did a survey of forecourt guages some years ago, they didn't find one that was within 10%

Any gauge that isn't re-calibrated every so often is very likely to read incorrectly, I worked in a garage where torque wrenches were tested every 6 months for calibration, bottle/trolley jacks for swl and the tyre pressure gauge was always out. They ended up supplying us digital gauges. Even new brand tyre inflation gauges aren't always correct.

And as an on the side theres now't wrong with supermarket fuel....
