Hi, I need to change a front shock in my 08 G6e turbo with factory 19inch rims. Does anybody happen to know a part no. Either Monroe or kyb? I'm having a bit of trouble, I think they are different to standard fg as the car sits lower. Cheers

I just put new Monroe gt gas in my 2010 g6et and I wouldn't get them again,thought they would ride smoother than the stock worn shocks but they are pretty rough for a so called luxury car.
I would have gone shockworks or bilstein if I did it again. They cost more but theres a good reason why... Pretty sure shockworks only do complete coilovers for fg now so id say bilstein shocks. |
