I require new shocks for my VT exec, only I want to go the whole hog and have it lowered about 2cms, camber kits, news springs etc. only i am troubled by which type of shocks to get. I know Pedders have a good reputation, and Monroe is a well known name, but when it comes to choosing between the two I am at a loss.
I know lowering comes at the expense of a good, smooth ride, but is there a middle ground?

Aren't Pedder's shock made by Monroe? Or is that an Urban Myth?

What is your budget? If you really want to go with good gear, look into koni coil overs or something similar..

Hi all,
I have had my 2 HQs done by Pedders. All I know is that the labour costs a bit, but sure saves my time and tooling. The 4door corners like its on rails and the Prem wallows the way you want a Prem to wallow. As for the shocks I dont really care
