Default Champagne Taste, Beer Money

Well my newly purchased (4 months), 993 C4 continues to be a blast and blessing. But still have the original Monroe Shocks (75k miles), and they must go. The problem though... I don't have the budget to buy HD Bilsteins or anything close. So need a temp. substitute for the next several months until I gather the funds. Whats the most economical solution during the meantime? Can I just go and have new Monroes installed as a temp. measure. Any advise greatly appreciated!

thnks,

glenn

Do it right and do it once. Save up until you have enough to do the HDs plus some M030 lowering springs.

Glenn,

This is such a labor-intensive job (install, alignment, corner balance) that Kelly's advice is spot on. Just continue to ride around on mush until you can do it right. Autobahn Tech has a complete used Roock suspension kit for sale for $700, but no one here seems to know anything about it. If you want to call them, try (256)489-9918 (I think). No affiliation, etc. See if you can find their website: www.autobahntech.com. They have them listed for $1200, but quoted me $700... they've been sitting on them for over a year. They came off of Rufus before I bought him.
