Owner reviews for shock absorbers

So I kinda disagree with him about Amazon, example my Monroe shocks are from Amazon and they are still doing great years later.

On my 2017 I just did bilstein 4600s without replacing the springs and it rides amazing, night and day from the rancho.

Swapped out the Toytec Aluma Boss 2.0 for Dobinsons MRR long travel in the rear & extended travel up front. Added Dobinsons billet UCAs and 600lb rear springs. Night & day difference in ride quality on the 2+ hour drive home

My 94 i put kyb from rock auto on the front and rear i really like them. Of course anything was better then factory set that were 30 years old lol.

As far as selection goes, you can choose from ANY grade of part in most cases. Their parts don't break in two-weeks if you know your brands: KYB for shocks.

You got time to shop around. Just don't get any bad aftermarket ones. KYB or Mazda OEM.

Try to test the suspension the shock absorbers tend to wear out after the years so you could start to hit the bumper on traffic humps.

I have a 460 and I did the 6100/5100 combo. The front dives HARD during aggressive breaking, so much so that I worry about the safety of it. But otherwise it rides nice and feels really good on and off road.

Tell that to my OEM Honda shock installed at the dealership that failed after 14 months and 15k miles. Already out of warranty. What a joke.

Got 3 sets of Monroe shocks in the last month that were all leaking out of the box. Had one fresh out of the box that was able to be compressed by hand with barely any force. Had struts from them as well that were leaking fresh out the box.
