Start here if you want it cheap go halves with someone on 2 pairs of shocks, it makes the shipping a little easy to stomach search on here for the model No

http://www.rockauto.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Use the part No search and select monroe its easier

Then get one of these from Maplins

I have done it this way and it goes up and down, just like it should nice feel at 120psi. You could buy a kit and pay hundreds and guess what it goes up and down.
After you have this set up and you want it faster then spend the extra on larger tube and viair compressor. Check out Mycha thread he knows what he is doing and he is going for 4 corners 8)

I bought some monroes off US ebay, cost about £30 a pair plus postage, so bought a few sets, sold them on to pay for my set


thats the cheapest way to do it.....buy 10 sets and you actually make few hundred quid doing it ;-) which is better than cheap


you need to ram at least 120 psi's in them like and they dont lift a lot...mines about 2" max...if that, rides nice tho...if you like firm


i dont EVER see them lifting the back of a bus...EVER, bags for that

If you go onto the site and select the part number search, then select monroe from the drop down, and the part number will be ma803 or ma824 i can't remember but search on here or Mycha's thread.

you get everything you need in the box mate, or if you want bigger hose pop down to pirtek they should have what you need.

I have just remembered that i needed to insert smaller shock bushes, this maybe down to the shocks i got.
Get these now at this price
