I have Monroe shocks on my 90 Westy now. Hate them! They completely sucked
from the get go. I have new Bilstein HD shocks ready to replace the POS Monroes
 as soon as I find a large enough plastic cutting board to butcher for rear
shock  spacers that I need (constant knocking from the compressed rear springs).

What are  my options for new shocks for my Westfalia?

I see Koni and Bilstien are  on the list also KYB and Cofap. Has anyone ever
tried Munroe?

Mine  is a camper so even empty it has a pretty good load. What is the
current  opinion of the  list?

Thanks

Dave
