My friend,get into contact with Oriel Kenya for Monroe or Robs Magics for Coils and springs. Their coils are high density,higher and offers more clearance and you'll need no spacers.

You'll feel the cost pinch but it's worth it.

Though i don't know much abt cars,i think alloy reams helps to some extent. A tyre in an alloy ream seems fatter than in the ordinary tin reams.

Life is too short.

@starr: I love cars, so I busy myself trying to understand them and how they work.

That and the fact that I was brought up as the only girl in a family of 5 all of whom love cars!

@ silk - exactly what I did in Dec last year.

Shocks + Springs + Protective case thingi set me back 64k (for a AT210 premio) - all this from Oriel Kenya but after that you are sorted.

Good peple,

I think @ tuvok has a good point. every car has its specifications and the introduction of any part that was not an original part will harm the vehicle by altering its balance eve at the engine level. Anything from fake parts,broad alloy rims,spacers,springs and coils that are not specified by the manufacturer will affect the vehicle. If you fit any of these things,you will pay by losing stability,faster wear and tear of other parts e.g ball joints and drive shafts (for those with broad rims),body tears,and more that you know you get higher fuel consumption.Ultimately,if the car is involed in an accident,the insurers can easily ruka by citing alterations that were not pre approved. You then face the music yourself. You would rather vuka the bumps slowly than adjust your moti.If you observe keenly,those motis that last longer and are well kept do not have these extras.

p.s cars are meant to last you not less than six years to make financial sense. Ask @ njung'e with his peugeot. Iam sure iko vile ilitoka marshalls x years ago

Are these the best prices for Monroe shocks in town ? 82K spent on suspension system alone ? I will stick with my chep 'fake' kayafas,they still last.

It is better to bite the bullet mara moja. I go to my jua kali guy on other issues but not with suspension trouble. Lakini that is just me. To each his own.
