Owner reviews for shock absorbers
I like the MonoMax, good bang for the buck
I got the same thing off of eBay for $900 low fronts (30mm), super low rear (40-50mm) sits level and i didn't notice a difference in ride stiffness with the Monroe's
Massive increase in ride quality and drivability after putting some Bilsteins on.
We also have really bad roads. Stock ride height and stock shock absorbers work very good. The factory specification is oil in the front and gas in the rear. We usually use Sachs on our cars.
I installed Koni orange shocks (and most importantly new bump stops) last year and absolutely love them. I didn’t want a crazy firm ride, or to mess with adjustable shocks, so they were the best option for me.
I got koni yellows because I didn't want cheap coils and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars and I'm really happy
In my experience, Billstein shocks will not appreciably improve ride quality. They will, however, improve handling.
Two years ago,I bought kyb left (usa)and right(china). Kyb right side made in china leak in a week and they send new made usa but have pay return shipping fee.
I have rough country shocks and I will tell you, it is a bumpy ride
