Koni Str.ts are only about a grand more than the monroes but glad you're happy with them and that you got your car sorted!

How much are the STR.TS? A set? What did you pay?
Bought mine awhile ago for the e46 between 5 and 6 iirc

I paid between R2899 and R2901 for a set of brand new set of shocks, fitted and alignment.

Since adding the H&R lowering springs, i noticed the front wheels seemed angled. Also, getting alignment done proved to be a challenged as it would be adjusted and then throw out as i drove out the alignment bay.

Stripped the car, put back OEM springs and same story. Turns out, the front 2 shocks were bent.

Replaced all 4 shocks with Monroe shocks and all is perfect. Alignment done and checked twice, no problems. Car handles much better, its day and night.

Did not want to shell out lots for Koni shocks at the moment, as i will be changing the suspension in the next year.

Dibs on the H&R's when you do!

NO NO NO....uh hum...no haaibo... :RedNo: This man Arbee knows who has dibs on this set of H7R when he does :rollsmile:

Another trip to Durban and back done and dusted. Spending Eid and a few days with family is always a treat. We did some sight seeing as well, spent a day at Ushaka. Shark cage diving and the aquarium is amazing.

The car was also treated to a wash and wax by the OCD team on Saturday morning. I just love the look of the car after the wax, i actually took a drying cloth to wipe it as it looked wet and glossy. Will post up some pics and a proper review later...

I did have a mishap on the way though, hit a trailer wheel on the N3 between Mooi River and Escourt. Damaged the undercarriage covers and bumper, something is up with the suspension as well as the car feels very unstable. 2 tyres also cut in the process. Managed to crawl home. Car is at Tune Tech at present for a suspension check, then to the panel shop to see if the bumper can be salvaged or replaced.
