Shocks RESOLVED

[bradartigue]

We've installed the Monroes on 10 or 12 cars and they work nicely. Not a sports car shock by any stretch of the imagination but the ride is nice and fairly stock feeling. KYBs are more sporty (read: stiff) and Koni yellows will beat you to death unless you have smooth roads.

KYBs and Gabriels seem to increase ride height slightly, but I have to admit I've never installed them on cars with good shocks, so it may be that the ride height was sagging to begin with due to old wayassauto (OEM) shocks.

Koni Reds were a near perfect replacement, and I wish I had bought 20 sets when they were being made.

I'd shy away from Caribou's old sites.

thanks Brad

These Monroe's are making a difference and I will be doing the rears this week (along with rotors & brakes). I think the real improvement will come with the upper & lower control arms replacement along with sway bar bushing replacements

Hey Nick
I got them from Parts Source (subsiderary of Canadian Tire) however, I went last night to get the rears and they could only get Rebex from their supplier They run about $40/ea Ordered the rear rotors from http://www.autoricambi.com and the front rotors from Cdn Tire (currently out of stock) Hope this helps

Hi Jay, stock front and rear rotors are the same beast, how come two different suppliers?

when I went to order from Canadian Tire and other local places I was informed that their suppliers only had 1 rotor available in Montreal So I decided to get the pair from my friends at Autoricambi I guess I should have bought all 4 when I went the first time

Thanks

Thanks Jay. I think the Napa store near you doesn't know how to search the system but they do have them also brake pads, timing belt, electric fuel pump, master cylinder.
