Monroe rear shock absorbers - questions
I've just been looking at Monroe rear shock absorbers here. They should be equivalent to MGR part number RPD102250 - item 2 here.
The Monroe Reflex E1301 is £43.07 for a pair - £21.54 each. That's roughly half the price from suppliers on eBay. Am I missing something? Next question - has anyone fitted Monroes recently? If so, what do you think of them? Last edited by Blink; 16th June 2019 at 17:03.. |

Re the price quoted above, the Monroe E1301 is £43.07 for one (not two). That explains it!

My rear shocks where replaced with these monroe ones. Made a massive difference compared to the tired old ones. That was 2-3 years ago and I've no complaints since fitting. Still doing their job well.
