Oh shit your right again i was picturing late mk1 :oops:

lol a lot of people get mixed up with Escort van/wagon rear shocks aye

The late mk1 and mk2 shock mounts would mean the deck in a van would have to have holes in to get to the pin on top of the shocks so they just kept using the early mk1 floor in them.

Munroe are shit.

thats BS. they are fine, it all depends on what your doing with them. Shit for rally cars, fine for street cars.

I will say this though, .. Munroes dont seem to last very long, .. 6mths later they seem to be worn out every time. which is why I dont buy them

Just a thought, ... why not use the KYB gas shocks, that supercheap stock for Hilux's (front), 87 - 91 or some such, they have the same stroke, etc, as the escort ears. around $75 each.

They're AWESOME for the 6months they last on a street car.

That's how.

:rolleyes:

The fact they only last that long, if that. Turning into a fetid pile of useless soft nancy shit, is irrelevant, if they were good for any period of time before that takes place.

TAXI!

work well when good, and pretty average when not. I'm more inclined to say munroe are 'average' not 'shit'. Shocks dont last forever buddy :P
