Hi good people,

Am looking for good shocks and coil springs for my Subaru Impreza car (the suspension is quite weak for Kenyan roads). Anyone with info on the pricing of either Rob's magic or Monroe shocks and coil spings? which of the two is better?

Most guys seem to prefer Monroe shocks.

I have a friend who also has an Imprezza and he loves the Monroe shocks/springs..

They'll cost though :) especially for Subaru.

Monroe Shocks + Kings Coil Springs from Oriel on MSA road will sort u out. Had a similar prob with my Gallant - 1998 model - sorte it kabisa..and cost 82k!! Good luck..

@ auka,

Shukhran sana. I'll check them out hoping they'll be flexible with the pricing and the fitting will be an after sale service.

Was thinking of spacers but saw in another thread that they are likely to make my ride less stable beating the sense of owning a Subaru! hiyo hapana taka!!

@Jaymiggy.

Pricewise - possibly 10-13k apiece for the shocks.

Fitting is quite possibly going to be free if you are spending...

@ Shak - front Shock = @ 12500,rear = @ 11000 and Kings Coils + Protection Kit ~ 37k. After that the car was really stable. The cars normally cost abot 350k resell but the dude who bought it knew the condition (of course with documentary evidence),he paid 490K! was not that bad...and NO you dont know me...the only game i play i hide and seek!!

@ 2vok,

taking the upper limit on the shocks price,4 x 13 = 52k. am tending to think the king coils (7 coil i guess) are not more than 5k hence 5 x 4 = 20k. Total of max 72k,correct me if am wrong please.
