dave t Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I need to replace the shock absorbers on my 1996 300tdi disco, can anybody reccomend some gas shocks that will give a good on road performance without making things too harsh? thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Just fitted some standard length Munro gas shocks all round. Came with all the bits form a local Factor. They're not so expensive as some and now give a much more stable ride with better cornering. I'm Pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 As above, Monroe Gas @ £26.14 + p&p each from Paddocks. I don't need them yet but that's what I would go for. I require the same spec, for on road performance not to harsh, which De Carbon Gas would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Fitted some Monroe Adventurers from Paddocks to a mate's road going Disco 1 a few years back. Yes, they are a cheap option for a gas shock, but we decided they were way too soft. Towing became quite scary even with h/d rear springs. In the end he splashed out a bit more for some de Carbons, the transformation was immediately obvious. I have de Carbons on all my vehicles and rate them highly.

JimAttrill Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I find Monroes good as price:performance goes. If you have more money, the possibilities are enormous. Just keep away from OME (made by Monroe) which don't last at all. My Monroes were made in Belgium if that makes a difference. I have a friend with a RR Classic with Ironman shocks at least 10 years old and still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthy Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've tried several shock brands over the last few Disco's & found the PRO-COMP 9000 gas shocks to be very good for the £30 ish each. also available in longer versions for lift kits at little extra cost. They are all pretty good & much of a muchness. . . . . BUT I would strongly advise AGAINST Terra-firma / Allmakes shocks, they're sh*te, especially the rears' Your local Bearmach supplier will get PRO-COMP parts for you.
