    Just bought a set of these myself, cant wait to get em

    MONROE GT SPORT LOWERED SHOCKS & STRUTS VS VT VX VY VZ - eBay Shocks, Struts, Suspension, Steering, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 13-Feb-10 20:58:07 AEDST)

    Meant to be a good lowered shock/strut, and they are a very good price.

    HAHA what? Nah i just bought a pair and cant wait to get em to stick em in and see what their like since im riding on standard shocks with kings superlows. I think there should be a marginal improvement at the least

    I can tell you here in now these are not expensive infact they are probably the cheapest you could get. Would normally be around $500-$600 me thinks.

    sorry to hijack thread,

    ive been running pedders Gas sports ryder shocks front and rear in my vs for a few years now, and it is a fairly harsh ride.... im looking to get some shocks that wont bottom out all the time being too soft but also something thats not rock hard as what ive got.

    Anyone got any ideas on how these GT sports would be compared to the pedders GSR's?

    Ive heard good things about em and also like the information on the website especially the FAQ's, also ive heard the yanks like them. Thats why i just recently bought them and cant wait to receive them and get them in, it also had to do with them being the right price.

    Pedders is fine if you dont mind spending between $1000 and $2000 on your suspension setup which on some cars may be worth more then the car itself.
