+- 80,000 per month (give or take) depending on seniority.

There are a bunch of Toyota Revo groups were those shocks and springs are being sold second hand. Many Thai people want them, as they aren't available new from Toyota. You could look up the brand profender (Thai brand). I have them on my Ford Ranger and it's night and day. I also added one extra leafspring in the rear (Ironman) and Ironman springs in the front. Ride is now as comfortable as a pickup can be.

You're right the GR Sport uses different shocks and incredibly stiff springs (part of the GR Sport Package). If you change the shocks and springs to standard Toyota OEM Spec, then the ride will probably get a bit softer. Sell the GR Sport shocks online for 20,000 baht (that's how much they are going for).

I bought them locally (Isaan), but I am sure they are available online or at other shops near your home ????

I can only give you my opinion. I've had Toyo, BF Goodrich, and anything else in between, but these Falkens perform at the same level as tires way above its price class. I paid 16,000 for a set of 4.

Not sure what you drive, but if it's an SUV/Pick-up, then I recommend looking at Falken Wildpeak AT3WA. They are a Japanese brand made by Sumitomo (Dunlop) in Thailand, and are really good for the price. I have them on my Ranger (265/70/17). They are quiet, offer good grip etc. You can find a bunch of reviews online where they are put against BF Goodrich tires and come out on top.

But they are only charging you for 2 hours, so not that bad right? The reason they want to take the whole day is to have some leeway if anything goes wrong or takes longer than expected. The job might finish in 2 hours, but might take 3 or maybe 4 depending on circumstances. I think your Ford dealer is taking care of you pretty well. FYI, I have changed an alternator at Mitsubishi once, and that took 3 hours to change, but I had to drop off the car at 8.00 and pick up at 17.00. Not really a big deal ????

Ford doesn't fix, but only replaces.
