I got a good deal on the ($30/pair) Monroe shocks last year. But
they were lousy. They were way too soft. The car was bobbing all
over the place. Also, they did not have a dust shield on the top,
so that the inner rod was exposed.
Last month I finally got some KYB units, and I am much happier
with them.

P.S.: I did not realize that an even poorer shock than
the Monroe was available for the Spit. Perhaps they
were made in India for Heralds exported to that country?
