Shocks for VI and BRM on Ebay

[Jon_A]

Anyone ever heard anything about this brand of shocks, would these be a standard replacement for a BRM or would they be any better or perhaps even worse?

monroe is a very good brand in making replaceble dampers for cars like a vectra, or a focus
but I wouldn't mess up the standard brm dampers with monroe ones

besides, vi and brm have different setup as standard, so why them buy a kit that is also for a vi? it couldd be that you're 2 cm higher

As I thought then, but are very cheap though for anyone with a VI as buy it now is £30!

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the height of the springs set the ride height more than the damper?

[Gene Hunt]

Correct mate hence the term lowering springs.

[Jon_A]

Springs do effect the ride height, but damper rates may be different between BRM and the VI.

jip, more, but it's not the only factor

I've got 2 sets of BRM suspension sitting at home if anyone wants them?
