Hi guys,

Once again i need your Coupé experience and advice on this subject.

I`m doing a refresh on my suspension, and following your advice i´m changing drop links, wishbone,track rod ends and top mounts and bearings.

I have Eibach springs and now i need some shocks, Steve from Alternative Autos is offering me some Monroe shocks, does anyone nows if this shocks are any good?

I prefer comfort to performance.

Need your advice guys.

Thanks.
Filipe.

I believe the Monroe is a standard replacement damper, if your old suspension is tired then these will feel much better.

Yes the monroes are very good. Original manufacturer for many cars, very well made, go for it.

I have a pair of rear monroes to go on but am finding it difficult to source a pair of front monroes...where did you buy yours from in the end?

How did you find them?

It should be 46436103, they're not handed so there's no left and right.
