no, monroes suck. For a 1.3" lowering...look at the KYB or Tokicos.

ZX2 ones are like 179 for the set...you cant beat that.

Jesse<BR>sorry i didn't mean to be harsh. i think we have a misunderstanding.. i don't want to autocross in my car..i just doing regular driving and some street racing..i want comfort..right now the bumps are so harsh and uncomfortable everything in may car rattles...my car is not lowered and never will be..how can 179 dollar shocks be better than mazda ones or monroe??
