I bought the cheapest pair to try . last of the $8 each - labeled economy, then stepped up a notch to the $20 ones - described as OEM standard, quite plentiful. Wish they said the were Monroe Sensatracs woulda left the $8 each MW gas charged ones. Old standard now NLA OZ, ned to buy $180 plus a pair, got mine in four days, two pairs plus post fedex for same $180 or bit less actually.

SWEET, cheapskate in me wanted to trial the $8 ones first. Mate ! Compared to the MW gas shocks that were in there, donated by my MY84 sedan, shocks were made in 99 here in OZ - the newies are great ! Been over a few spots that concerned me with the others , no after bounce. Ride feels better too.

These shocks just fitted are a little on the short side and looks to have reduced my bump stop clearance to a finger, factory is 20mm.

Th old MW's looked good, hand test seemed OK, the rubber bushes are like new !!

I got like a new car, what with new radius rod bushes, intermittent wipers, and interior light !!
