Get standard new 300 dampers. Land rover shocks are for trampers who miss the point

Monroes are one of the best 300 stock shocks, rallied on several sets.

Save money for useful stuff that wont make your car unstable ...

To clarify i've got adjustables from Dai, so you should expect them to be set up correctly for a 300, where as Landy ones fit but they are really suitable.
Mine are set half way on the adjusters and it's still quite quite a skitty bumpy ride.

Whats the matter with the car i'm driving can't you tell that it's out of style?
