I could well be interested. I was going to get Bilsteins so wondered if these are as good ?

Cheers Mark

Thanks for the comment. I am afraid I can't answer your query - perhaps others can advise?

Monroe are a good brand Mark, Australian I believe, my Dad used them in his Discovery 1 and never had issues.

)

Thanks for the information though Luke

Monroe are a good brand Mark as Luke says. Was surprised about the Australian comment though, i thought they were British! Did a bit of digging and found i was wrong on that as well!

Turns out they're American, started in Monroe, Michigan.

Ah well there you go, I'm sure some of the Monroe parts I had in New Zealand had made in Australia.

Could well have been Luke - from the history page on the Monroe site :

"Monroe Auto Equipment expanded to Europe in 1964; Japan, Australia and Mexico in 1972; South America in 1974; and Canada in 1975."

They had a prescence in Australia from 1972 so a very good chance what you had in NZ was made in Australia.
