Four KYB MonoMax shock absorbers for the VX cost under $200 shippped. I purchased mine from Tire Rack.
.
I do not know how these shock absorbers compare to the other available shock absorbers for the VX. My guess is they would not be a good choice for serious off road use. They do appear to work well for me on the horrible roads of Western PA.
.
The VX - Liberty comparision may not be a good one - two different types of vehicles ..... I'm not sure the VX ride will approach the ride of a Liberty (never driven in a Liberty).
