    Default Shocks to suit Ultra Low Springs...suggestions?

    Hi

    Im putting my ute through regency this week and I want to put some short stroke shocks in it when I swap the ultra low springs back in as the stock shocks in it ride like a bag of dicks!

    What are you guys running to suit ultralow springs? (havent confirmed my car is running ultralows but im pretty sure it is as its pretty much on the deck)

    Case in point:



    Also does anyone in SA know where I can get a good deal?

    Thanks

    Matt

    surely someone makes something that suits superlows off the shelf?

    or people just ride around hitting bumpstops all day long??

    Monroes as stated. My daughter has a set of short Monroe GTs on her VT Clubby.
    Supercheap etc should have/be able to get easily.

    Kyb I've been told they have great customer care warranty. Plus I've used monroe pedders and current kyb have been the best.

    I have a personal preference for KYB stuff. Monroes are OK, but I find them a little on the firm side for my driving style.
    Just fitted new KYB struts in my Soarer, and great feel.
