new front shocks

[elty001]

Couple of hundred quid for std shocks all round suddenly jumps to £500+ for a 2" lift! What gives?

That's for longer shocks,lift springs and uprated torsion bars.
Not a bad price really for the peddars kit.
Trail master are also a decent kit but wouldn't fit ball joint spacers as it puts the cv joints on the front at a bad angle.

That's the cheapest I can find in the country :nenau

15 mins from work too :thumb2

Has anyone else noticed that the box said "Reflex" but the shock said "Adventure"?

:lol

Adventure are cheaper, I've looked on monroe website and seems like adventure are designed with 4x4's in mind while reflex aren't, reflex seem more like a road biased shock :nenau

Didn't look bloke. I was after the Adventure, so looked no further. Sorry!

I like them though, flexible on road and feel secure. I only go off road during the shooting season, so nothing challenging.

I've got the Trol so can't comment on the Terrano stuff but I'm rocking pedders springs and shocks and cannot compliment them enough. Foam shell shocks are awesome, I've had air on the Trol and the come down was like a gentle cushion... ask Banshee and Patrolman, I properly bounced her on rock steps in Yorkshire and I barely felt it :naughty:thumbs

its a 500mile trip, best to take about 5-6 days to take in the scenery, looks amazing as long as you have the weather on your side that is

Sounds good. Any plan to the trip or just drive till you've had enough and camp.

Have been to Scotland countless times, have friends in Carluke, but have been very very lucky with the weather. Sunburnt at Knockhill watching BSB, same again in Ardersier while helping my pal at a quad bike meeting.
The scenery is the best I've ever seen. Love Scotland.:thumbs
