Hi I'm looking for a set of rear shocks for my 4th gen bb1 or where can I get new ones that won't cost me a fortune

I think i have two rear shockers spare
Now that's a big think, and i don't get back off hols till Tuesday. They came spare with the 2ws subframe i got. And i am pretty sure i still have them in the shed.

looks like you can get KYB ones for around the £45 each - they seem to have got a lot cheaper than they used to be
. KYB are fairly well known and it would be same performance and ride height as oem shocks.
whats wrong with the ones you have - oem shocks normally last forever...you might get away with just replacing the springs

The apex springs and shocks I bought from rich one of the rear shockers was goosed so I changed the springs onto the original rear shocks from my car and now my drivers side rear shocker is leaking badly and knocking like hell my mot is due on 10th march so need to change them before then

+1 on the KYB's. I found my front end ones for about £40 each. I've read good things about them with standard springs or slightly lowered ones too.
