MutantCav Omega Baron Offline Posts: 4585 Gainsborough Gender: Drives: 3.0 2000 Mini Facelift Elite Saloon	FS: Monroe Adjustable Estate Rear Shocks 03. Mar 2009 at 14:40 These can be manually adjusted to the required pressure dependant upon load etc and ideal for caravanning... No idea what they are new so guessing on a price (based on cost of self levelling shocks)...someone correct me if its way too much... £80 for the pair delivered

Re: FS: Monroe Adjustable Estate Rear Shocks Reply #4 - 19. Mar 2009 at 19:42 Do they come with all the bits to (I presume hoses and valves etc) just to fit straight on. Don't know much about these types, seen some fitted years ago to a Carlton saloon, had the valves in the boot. Mick

Used to have a pair of Monroe air shocks on my pontiac with the gauge etc.

Bloody good piece of kit. Std tres for the car were 215 -15's which equated to 215/78/15 as apparenly standard wall were 78% of the width for road tyres. Went on to run 215/60 VR 15 P6's.

Air shocks worked well in both cases and allowing for ride hide adjustment when the boot was loaded.

Also ran a HUGE set of Truck tyres in a bet that I couldnt smoke the wheels. The Monroes even cleared them. The car looked like a wedge but worked well. Thumbs Up!

Ask yourself : " WHY do I believe what I believe?"

Jun 2009 at 22:02 Yes estate only as the back shocks are different on a saloon...you turn a wheel (located in the boot) to adjust the height to whatever you want, usually to increase height ride to accomodate for example towing a caravan

How do you increase the height? Surely you have to pump more air into them, unless they come with their own compressor Undecided
