Then Monroes should work just fine while saving you a bundle. I just used a pair of Monroe Sensatracs to replace some completely blown Bilsteins on my wife's vehicle. Huge difference and both of them only cost ~$75 at Pepboys. That is less than half what new Bilstein HDs would have cost. OEM or better performance for under $80. Can't beat that.

Allright, ive called around for prices (Yeah, its pretty expensive in Norway)..

Sachs 121$
KYB 123$
Gabriel 125$
Monroe 148$

What brand should I go for? The price diffrence is so small, I guess I could go for whatever suits me.

I need 2x for the rear suspension.
If anyone can beat 242$ including shipping to Norway, please shout

Hmm, found a cheap lowering set, its cheaper than 1 spring for my car :P

But is it worth it?

wow... kyb's are cheaper there???? Lowering will lead to a more harsh ride, but benifits in cornering. I lowered and used kyb's. Not the best, but I don't complain for the price.


Never heard of Zenn before.

Oo, I tought KYB was just ordinary ? :P

those zenn springs will be too much drop of kyb's they are ment for factory replacement but can handle a small drop like the 1.2 inches ebiach does. thats the set up i have now. great handling for the price

Hm, Im surprised the KYB's are cheaper then the Gabes Either way, KYB seem to be better by everyones standards.

A new Gabriel is a blown one. You don't wanna mess with it. It is a POS.
Stay away from it. KYB is nice for stock replacement.

Mines are fine for 6k no prob

I guess I will go with KYB and some standard springs then, cant be bothered to replace all the springs around

I guess KYB is easier to import to Norway or something? *Shrug*
