Default monroe shocks for lowered car???

I have a set on koni sa's that need rebuild. My car is lowered 1.5 inches. Will the cheap monroe shocks work as a temporary shock for a lowered car while I have my konis rebuilt?

Yep. Just won't work as well as the SA's, but hey...you need the SA's rebuilt and it's only a temporary downgrade, right?

Yeah, at worst ill only run then for a month or two. My only concern would be weather or not these shocks will bottom out on a lowered car.

they can, but that will all depend on driving style and/or road conditions. Hopefully the rebuild will have a quick turn around time.

As something in interum they will work. Just take things easy and don't push your car and you will be fine.

I sell Monroe (well, I can.... I just don't want to)...... You'd be better off on DeCarbon's--does that tell you anything?
