Ha, that's funny. Thank you for letting me know it is the right part. Are they easy to install? I am going to order them, then my s-tech's. The only work i have done myslef is the exhaust and cold air intake, so are these Monroe's something i would be able to do myself having limited experiance?

Also, is it a noticable difference in the xA ? From what I've read... it sounds good for the xB.
Thanks in Advance.

I got mine at Murrays Discount Auto... it's an Illinois chain AFAIK. According to their site, it's owned by the same guys who have Kragen, Schucks and Checker... so if you can find one of those, I'd imagine the price will be similar.
I called several parts stores, all of whom needed to order for 35+ each, Murrays had two in stock for 26. Either give them the part no. or tell them it's for a 2001 Echo.

Does anyone have the part number handy for the version if you are lowered? I'm rolling on Goldlines and would do anything to soften up the ride a bit. My development is brick paver streets so between there and driving through downtown, you get beat up often.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Does anyone have any opinions on the ride with the 5870s installed? I'm just looking to smooth things out and everyone seems to have the 5987s installed due to less then a 2" drop.
I have a long trip this week so I would like to install them quickly. Any advice is appreciated!!

Which ones should i use for the Eibach Pro drop? It's not a 2 inch but it is a drop and I dont know how long it will be until I can order my Koni yellows. I will put on some of these cheap monroes for now, I just need to know which ones I should use for the time being on the mild drop. Thank you in advance.
