    Go for Monroe gt gas shocks they will give you a firm but comfortable ride.

    The monroe GT Sports are a good product. The GT Gas on the other hand are absolute SHITE

    ive heard the KYBs do a good product for cheap.

    Pedders are overpriced imo

    Just looking for some advice what do you think about these?

    VS V6 Commodore Ute Superlow King Springs + R Shocks - eBay Coil Springs, Suspension, Steering, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 01-Apr-09 19:45:14 AEDST)

    Seems like a good price for the king springs super lows and the rear shocks that are Monroe Sports which are needed to trap the springs? These springs/shocks ok?

    Thanks
