A review of how they feel would be great. New shocks are on my list for some point this year.

Interim report!!
I have eventually got round to fitting the front shocks and YES they do make a difference.
The car didn't feel bad before but now it doesn't "jar" on bumps and it feels more secure. Even my wife noticed lol
One strange effect is that a year or so ago I had new(road) tyres fitted all round. The steering started wobbling at 45/50 (not the death wobble) so I assumed it wasn't balanced properly as the car was ok on the old tyres.
I tried balancing a couple of times and I even took the weights off and put in balance beads but there was always a slight wobble between those speeds.
Since then it's gone through a couple of MOT's inc one at my local Suzuki dealer where I asked to check the front end/kingpins etc. but no problems were found.
That wobble is now gone with the fitting of the new Monroes???
I hope to get the rear ones on soon.
