RT Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ok, what kinda shocks does everybody use? If you've still got original shitbox items then you can vote for the shocks you intend on buying discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WESTCORT Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 eyeing up a set of bilstiens at the moment, just need to save more to get em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Bilsteins are the shit, but unless you plan on some seriously hard cornering they won't do much for you. I heard that pedders are just monroe shocks with cheaper components and fancy packaging.. I run shortened monroes in the front and pedders in the rear.. , my falcon has pedders all round, (but I wanted KYb's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I was gonna get some Koni's for the front, but they are too expensive for my car as I have to import them! Could only find reds too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I got monroes... cause the front had them already and some second hand rears appeared on trademe at the right time in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddie W Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I've had Bilsteins on two cars that were important to me and they would be my first choice any time. First car was my rally Escort MK1 and I'm sure they saved my butt more than once. Plus they weren't new when I got them and they still tested perfect when I sold it. Second car was a Range Rover that I put new Bilsteins on and they were still good after 15yrs including offroad work. The Rangie was also known to see off quite a few cars on the road. So they would be no1 by my book but they don't seem to make them for Alfa 33s so the next best is Konis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WESTCORT Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 whats best price yous have got for bilstiens? $250 a pair here.. can anyone get cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 thats a fucking steal... adjustable? i paid $200 each for my konis and that was with a bit of discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I run Bilstein's in the front of the Sud.... I think I paid $400 for the pair, plus the struts were modified as the shocks are a short stroke Subaru item... In the rear I have a set of Spax shocks, which are compression and rebound adjustable, which arrived from the UK with adjustable Spax front inserts, (which bit the dust after an argument with a fucking massive pothole) and progressive springs for a total of $750NZD.
