I have a friend in the supply field so got springs for $100 each and shocks 200 each
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I purchased my Monroe short shocks off eBay for $500 delivered to my door, seller was calledDo you mind me asking roughly what it cost. Ive already got lowered (Walkinshaw) springs. But looking to put some short shock in also.
Nice. Can you advise what the kit includes and how much it is?Eibach Pro Kit View attachment 203855
The struts will be modified GM OEM struts. Stock OEM struts are sealed with the Monroe damper inside. Pedders (and others) cut off the very top of OE struts to remove the OE damper. The strut then has a threaded section welded in place so that a removable gland nut can be installed. This permits them to install a different damper insert into the strut. Pedders only make the insert and possibly the welded-on threaded section. If pedders fitted them to your car and kept your OE struts, they'd modify those for the next customer.Had the front wheels off today, so for anyone interested:
Pedders Touring Springs
Front 202 954 C 1407
Rear 202 955 C 1407
On a full tank - measurements centre of wheel hub to the guard lip:
Front 370mm
Rear 365mm (so obviously evens up with lower fuel)
While I was looking at the spring model number I noticed my front struts where stamped:
GM RN (right strut)
Monroe
D 08N014 3
Seeing as it has GM stamped on it, does anyone know if these would be OEM struts or aftermarket Monroe struts?
