Monroe and Gabriel are pretty standard brands with decent quality.
Pros: decent quality
Owner reviews for strut assembly
Manufacturers
I changed over to Bilsteins struts and shocks 2 weeks ago and completely love the stiffness that comes with these bad boys. Had ranchos that were way too soft.
Pros: love the stiffness
Cons: ranchos were too soft
I got KYB's from RockAuto - $88 each for the rear, $187 each for the front. Ride is much smoother now.
Pros: ride is much smoother
Returned and bought kyb and have had no issues and the ride is great.
Pros: ride is great
Cons: no issues
Always preferred Gabriel. Had a nice combination of ride and handling.
Pros: nice ride and handling
the Monroe ones have been fine and I have well over 100k on them
Pros: have been fine
Mileage: 100000 km
Monroe are okay but expect them to last maybe 50k miles, not 100k. Monroe is as close to OEM ride as you will get in aftermarket.
Pros: close to OEM ride
Cons: shorter lifespan
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I have had decent luck with the Monroe ready-struts, they are decent enough for an older car, but they aren't the best things in the world either.
Pros: decent enough
Cons: not the best
Kyb, bilstien or sachs. Everything else just is crap.
Cons: all brands are crap
Don’t get KYB I got them on my Camry and they didn’t last long. Just get the factory struts IMO.
Cons: didn't last long
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
