Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isnt Monroe and Gabriel the same company?

What are Pedders like?

Gabriel and Monroe are seperate companies as far as I know. I sold the Monroe brand of shocks for years and I've never touched a Gabriel. A quick Google turns up nothing to suggest the two are the same.

Pedders however are repainted Monroes. Google 'fukron' for more info, I beleive the site has been torn down. Basically its the story of a bloke who was ripped off in buying a Pedder's franchise and went public on all their dirty secrets.

That's for an MY, or according to the catalogue an HQ-WB.

The website is gone. I'd really like to read it but apparently thats not going to happen.
I have nothing but success dealing with my local pedders shop.

Had an idea of havin air shocks all round, and using a small high speed compressor in the back to adjust the absorb strength whilst in the car..
Prob have the air hoses in "paralell" so they all pump to the same pressure. Just an idea, wot are your thoughts on that?

gabriels are made in the USA monroe and pedders are made in south aust pedders are a lesser quailty monroe...my brother used to work for them (monroe that is) and hes been through the factory....
Ive got gabriels in my car and im quite happy with em...i looked at kybs im sure there good to by the sounds of it but they should be they were $180 extra when i got mine...

Go with KYB
Subaru use them from factory.
There new Excel-G Twin Tube Gas are excellent value for money & perform very well. I have just ordered my set for the front of my 'L'...
