People complaining about Adelaide roads have obviously never driven in Victoria.

Potholes that jar your bones on 31inch tyres
Undulations that make you feel like you're on a roller coaster
Road surfaces that change by the kilometre

.....yeah....Victorian roads are so great.

Whereas S.A roads are one steady road surface type for 100's of KM on end.

I did the Melb-Adel-Melb drive a few months back in less than a day and as soon as i crossed back into Vic i was wishing i was in S.A on their roads.

Now i'm not trying to be racist here, but I always thought that a black guy named Gabriel made these shocks. Mainly because I have never heard of a white guy named Gabriel. Maybe he stole the shocks and put his name on the box and tries to sell them for a profit.










Anyway, back to being serious now, +1 for Monroe GT Gas, also Pedders Comfort Gas are also pretty good, I currently have them in my VS, and in my WH.

Gabriel is also the name of the highest ranking Angel in heaven, and Supreme Commander i think of the Angel armies also

RE: shocks.
Do it once, do it right. Pay a bit more and get the good ones

I fitted a set of gabriels to a mates EA falcoon when his shocks died. they rode nice for the cheap price. He wanted a budget job and they worked well. I woulnt fit them to my own cars, but they do the job to get you outta trouble on the cheap
