Owner reviews for shock absorbers

In my experience shopping for a miata, generally there isn't a huge difference in value between all-stock and "OEM+" cars that have minor tasteful mods from reputable companies. Koni and billstein shocks are pretty common and may even help resale a little bit. Repairing worn-out parts with slightly better aftermarket replacements doesn't hurt either. Any car with new bushings (provided they are rubber and not poly) will probably be preferred to one with the original, whether they're OEM or the slightly stiffer IL Motorsports ones that are common. Ditto for things like bump stops, shock mounts, et cetera.

I totaled my beloved 2020, and got a 2021 recently, the only difference being the Bilsteins to lift, still setup by Primitive Racing. I immediately broke myself to get all the same stuff as the 2020.

I did it myself with Bilstein 5100s, cost about $700 and gave my truck a 2.5” lift. Looks awesome.

Si tu remplaces les 2 amortos, franchement sur autodoc je viens de regarder des TRW à 35 balles tu prends pas de risque sur la qualité et le prix est acceptable.

Bilstein B4 is a good replacement.

for my 2008 Prius I did kyb all four corners in 2019 and the dust boots have now disintegrated. the shocks themselves are still fine.

Front struts were making some noise so, I got some bilstien 5100 for front and back. Definitely worth the $ to upgrade. Also you have the option to add up to 2.5 inch’s off lift in the front with bilstien ride height adjust.

I have Bilstein 6112’s right now but am switching over to the Dobinsons MMR as hundreds of miles of washboard roads have definitely taken their toll.

Not a mechanic, but the general consensus I read from mechanics when doing mine is that Monroe can be garbage and stick with KYB.

I just did my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 and put these on the back.

The springs supposedly add about 500 lbs to the leaf springs. After receiving them, I was a little disappointed by the plastic stop at the top of the springs, and the ride is pretty rough empty. Not recommending them (only had them a couple of weeks) but I'm sure there are similar products.
