monroe 4x4 shocks or OME shocks?
i got a quote the othe day for OME shocks and i got blown anyway when i saw the price, when i can get monroe 4x4 shocks cheap as, is there a reason why? i didnt think monroe were that bad at all!
Hi
A few years ago I was looking for some new shocks for a Hilux I had. I was comaring shock prices at a mates auto parts shop and he told me that OME shocks are made by Monro as are most of the shocks sold in Australia. With exception of some imported shocks.
He showed me OME's and the equivelant in Monro side by side and they were exactly the same shock in every way including the stamped part numbers from the factory. The difference between the 2 sets were the colour and about $120.00. This was quite a few years ago now.
He said (joking) if I wanted OME's he'd paint the Monro's yellow and put an OME sticker on them and charge me the extra if I wanted.
Monro's, OME's, Gabriels all come from the Monro factory...

Gabriels have factories all over the world and are probably the worlds largest shocker manufacturer
