Title: Air Shocks
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 16 September 2013, 16:58:36
Any recommendations/prices on replacement Air Shocks for my 1999 (T) Elite Saloon.  Took car for test and got a pass, but advisery on N/S Air Shock and N/S handbrake just within limit, Dont think the hand brake has hardly been used since test last year, plus the car has barely covered 2000 miles in that time.

TIA.  :y

GM only for SL shocks seems to be the usual recommendation. They were £150 for a pair last time I bought some, but believe they have gone up a bit since.

You have a choice of Vauxhall or er .............. Vauxhall  ::) if you keep your air assisted rear shockers.  ;) ;) ;) If you still have somewhere that will do TC for you, they were about £150 a pair last time I bought a pair  :y

I don't see why, given the cost of normal shocks, plus the levelling capability.

Monroe load levellers(?) have been discontinued last I heard on here. They where over £200.

£150plus for self levelling shocks is a bargain. Check other makes.

Stupid gay website, that particular retard should be shot for being an imbecile.

Cant be arsed to go through source code, but Estate SL are £67 plus vat each.  Dunno about saloon, the website is created (not designed) by a 14yr old gay retard.

breakless retard. How hard is it to create a page that displays in the worlds most popular browser? Dead rather easy is the answer. If you've reached puberty, and have some experience of the world, that is.

Yes that's not very good is it. ;D

Doesn't even list saloon sl shocks. Or indeed, differentiate between front and rear. Although given the ident numbers they look like fronts. :-\

Clear as mud. ::)

Yes that was my thought, but then wondered why, as fronts are symmetrical. :-\ ;D
