Shock question

Has any one used these shocks before or could recommend a good replacement for the rear of a 84 190D?

Thanks,

Have had a number of customers fitted with these...2000 Crown Vic', a 1986 VW Vanagon, a 1884 Vanagon, a 1994 Jaguar, among some...all report good ride and very controlled lane change stability.

Most of these also had Michelin HydoEdge tyres too....great combo on the 1984 Vanagon....much less body roll and less side wind drifting. Terrific wet braking too.

None have had them long enough to evaluate durability of life though.

Bilstien and Boge are good too, although a little $$$$$$

Thumbs up

I have Gabriel on my SD and SDL, I'm pleased with them for the cash. Lifetime warranty also. I'm going to put those on the 420 and install Bilstein on the SDL... then I will be able to give a good comparo.
