why do you want stiffer shocks? if they have done a fair few miles they'll be performing well below par anyhow. there are lots of standard and gas type replacements around, i just changed mine which were cheapoes but only 18months old and put in monroe gas ones which do control the spring much better but still plenty compliant on the bumpy stuff. if you are after stiffening up the ride to make it handle like a sports car it will shake itself to bits off road, and if you don't intend to take it off road just buy an estate car instead
I'm not after another bitter comment. I have had a enough landrover ownership in my time. I am trying to make a one of car.
I keep getting blasted down by truely off roaders.
I have done all that.
I am sticking with landrover, I don't no why. Just like em.
Just stick to the thread man!

yeah can say that for sure mate i changed the back axle in the middle of the life of the monroes and 1 of the threaded ends sheared off when i tried to undo it (only been on about 6 months ) could'nt get a replacement off um either
had to cough up for 1 only to find about 12 months later the other 3 were fooked!

Damm! Looks like koni is the way to go then. I have uprated alot of cars in my time. But at £380 just seems alot.
I need someone to tell me the way.

monroe are definately at the cheaper end of the scale but i only paid £7 brand new on ebay so if i have to change em next year that's still bloody cheap!
