Shock absorbers Dobinsons or Monroe
Happy to report Dobinsons MRA92-A2522 12” travel fit quite neatly in the Archive Shock relo. The 3-way adjustment and massive finned external reservoir are clutch. The ride is massively improved.
Pros: ride massively improved
Part number: MRA92-A2522
I’ve got the Dobinsons remote res shocks in my Navara. The shocks are real nice. Plenty of adjustments available.
Pros: plenty of adjustments
Vehicle:
Nissan
Dobbys MRR work well but they are the best for overlanding set ups that add weight to the LC.
Pros: best for overlanding
Went with Monroe oespectrum. No complaints so far
Pros: no complaints
I change mine to bridgestone xm2plus size 185/50/15, rim 15/6.5j/et40. Monroe absorber with eibach spring. And put on ultra racing engine bar and rear antirollbar. Handling so nice, feel the different. I use for daily drive.
Pros: Handling so nice
If you care about ride quality buy monroe.
Pros: good ride quality
I have changed the 4 shock absorbers for new "RideSense" from Monroe, like the originals and the same thing continues to happen. The change between "Comfort" and "Sport" is also noticeable, but I do not perceive that the active function that regulates the suspension when cornering is working.
Pros: change between Comfort/Sport noticeable
Cons: active function not working
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
Mileage: 120000 km
We installed some Monroe OE spectrum shocks on a car on Friday due to parts delivery issues with the kyb shocks. Today we're taking the Monroes off and installing the kybs due to noise.
Cons: noise issue
Monroe is doghsit. Installing Monroe in a car should be punishable offense.
Cons: poor quality, not recommended
Vehicle:
BMW
Bought these Dobinson shocks and coils in October, photos are in May with service records indicating only 2,000 km of driving! Within 5 months these are looking like they wont last 2 years.
Cons: wont last 2 years
