Re: Shocks I asked a similar question recently. Lipmesa are designed to work horizontally and not just fit.
Ecas do a pair for 75 quid and 2 2cv c*** are a bit cheaper.
Get those and give the monroes a miss.

Re: Shocks Would original spec shocks for an Acad be up-rated to allow for extra weight in the back? I'm just thinking that if you're not going to be using it to transport hefty items around, then the more normal, car or van rated shocks could be fitted instead?

Re: Shocks I think the mounting pin on th Acad is larger than the 2cv.I fitted car shockers on my AK,they seem fine.(Lips)
If it were me,I would fit the Lipmesa,I know they are more expensive,but they are designed for your van,and will give a better ride.

Re: Shocks yeah, the mounting stud on the acad is larger diameter, so car shocks won't fit. Plus, if i'm not mistaken, the acad's onger chassis requires a longer shock?
