Monroe Sensatrac??????

These sound cheap and nasty to me I must admit, and having no experience og Monroe dampers, whats the opinions? They are a rear pair and very cheap.
I think I know what the answers will be........but wanted to confirm! :biggrin:

Most anything that is very cheap can't be very good. Save your pennies and go with a set of bilstein's.. unless you really need something now.

Cheap does not necessarily mean bad. KYB are fairly cheap, and are decent. Monroe are cheap and crappy, I've had them before and they are great if you drive a 87 Cadillac Deville, but you're gonna want something with thats a little stiffer (regardless of how you drive).

i threw a set of monroes in my jeep--didn't last very long.

the stock shocks aren't too expensive, and the bilsteins aren't much above that (check ebay). i can personally vouch for the boge touring shocks, just a little stiffer over stock but still comfortable.

FYI, in the states, if you buy the bmw shocks and have them replaced by a dealer, you then have a lifetime warranty on them. definitely worth it in the long run if you plan to keep the car going past 200k miles.

200k? **** ... i'm already there ... 400k here i come! :p i'll give these bilsteins a good test :)

Thanks all I figured as much, being US originated dampers! :biggrin:

I said they were cheap didnt I........£7 a pair :blink:

:rolleyes: hmm maybe they'll fit the lawn mower?

now david, why would you want to subject your lawn mower to that? hasn't it served you well, why do you wish to punish it so? ;)

btw, i agree with your "being US originated dampers" for the most part. sad but true.

Well its a Yard King...........another one from across the pond! great mower though...
