Shocking question
« on: 10 March 2007, 22:04:53 »
Well chaps and chapesses i've been offered a new set of rear Monroe shocks that use a tyre valve and link pipes in boot to "pump up" the shocks to restore ride height when loaded. My car has not got self leveling so was wondering if any one has any experience of these?  Oh yeah they were offered for £90 still boxed
Cheers guys :y

Well i do tow a little trailer to the dump sometimes full of unwanted garden green stuff, trailer looks lost behind the 'meega,  but i dont know how ride and handling would be affected. Might just replace with gas shocks of the standard type of arrangement as mine do feel a bit soft on the back. Or maybe its just got me thinking it is???

Got the same system on mine!!! although i cheated and used the air shocks from a carlton diamond and then used a manual blowup valve with a pressure gauge onit so i know how much is in there however with a fully loaded car trailer( with an Omega estate on the trailer) they will lift my suspension 4 inches !! well worth doing and doesent effect the handling or damping in any way!!!
