Title: FC UTe Shocks Post by: Jolls on June 29, 2025, 09:35:58 PM Hi Team,
I need to replace the shocks on the project FC ute. The posts in relation to shocks on the forum are pretty dated. I have sone a bit of research and identifed several options including: Monroe, Gabriel and Sachs at at $60-70 mark per unit, Koni at around $220 per unit and at the bottom end Repco at $50 per unit (rear only). What are your expereinces with these brands and what do you think is the best value for money option. I don't think the FC warrants Koni's! Cheers Title: Re: FC UTe Shocks Post by: blacky on June 30, 2025, 03:49:59 PM I run Monroe gas shocks in my FB ute and have no complaints, it does a reasonable amount of km every year so not just a sunny sunday car.

Appreciate the feedback. I have heard that Monroes are a pretty comfortable ride even on the rougher roads. I plan to have the ute on standard rego so will clock up a few miles around town. No doubt will drive it over the the Landcruiser - so much more style!

I bit the bullet and purchased the Gabriels as I got a great last minute EOFY deal. I couldn't find the Monroe deal I was looking at prior at around the $70 mark so they were back up at $100 plus per corner even with the discount. The Gabriels were on offer at 40% off so I took the punt based on some research I had done inthe background. Your post has reassured me! Cheers Craig |
