Hey All,
I know shockers have been beat to death on this forum so i apologise in advance. So i have an AUII xr6 with Kingspring Superlow all round. So i think that i need 50-60mm shorter shocks then the plain old falcon, Do boge or KYB do these? Where can i get them? What are the part no.'s? If you have a link to a catalogue it would be awesome. And yes i have read that koni's and bilsteins are the ducks nuts but i cant justify that much money. If there are other brands which perform as good at the budget end of the scale please let me know. I really dont want to get Monroe GT sport but theyre the only ones i can find short enough and that don't have the warranty void by using lowered suspension!!!! cheers Jason

They're fine, not great, but not bad. As I said above, hard to beat for the $$ I think. Not even close to Koni yellows or Bilstein Sports, but at about 1/3 the price you wouldn't expect them to be.

Interesting, I am looking at either the Boge or Munroe GT Sports, anyone else had both Boge and Munroes that can give a bit of a review of both of them?
Was learning towards the Boges, but could be swayed either way! |
