They may be good shocks.
But monroe gas are $17 each x 4 = $80

These are $42 EACH!

In my opinion Monroe is junk along with Gabriel.

KYBs & Bilsteins are 3 times better. You get what you pay for.

GMTGMT Bilsteins are made in west germany...maybe you can get a better price than we can in the states.

I don't know about GmtGmt, but my current shocks are probably original (from 1978!) so even "crappy" monroes will be a step up.

i think mine are original too (1984) leaking and just plain bad

Thanks for the tip

but i have had very bad exprice with Bilstein shocks and struts
my buddy bought some quite expensive once for his car
installed them the front once where so stiff that i could just have installed a pice of iron insted for the strut. the rear bounced like crazy
the car was undriverbell. he bought a lowering kit for it after that that came with some good shocks and struts dont remember witch brand but it was very nice to drive after that
