Hi all,
I was at my local wrecker yesterday sourcing some parts for my au GHIA!! I came across a S2-3 xr6 ute. It had near new red shocks up front... It looked like it had the tickford setup being an xr6???? Just wondering what brand would the shocks be??? I couldn't read anything on them??? Maybe there Pedders???? Any idea how to tell??? |

I've had several XR's and the shocks have been red or yellow.
They are always Monroe. Koni reds are actually quite orange. Pedders are red. Some KYB's are red. It's a mixed bag, but if they're Monroe it will be stamped towards the bottom.

I had monroe GT gas on mu Fairmont, with King springs SL's. I dont know which one done it, but as a combo it was the most horribly handling and rough ride Ive ever had. And that was only on 17's. Mums Forte with XR suspension, is an absoloute pleasure in comparison.
