I've always just run Monroe gas-matics but currently have Billsteins on my Suburban. They're a stiffer ride and more expensive but are durable.

Pros: durable, stiffer ride
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle: Chevrolet Suburban

Monroe’s tend to be very good OE equivalents. Just put a set on a p2 Volvo v70r and they ride pretty damn good in my opinion.

Pros: very good OE equivalents, ride pretty good
Vehicle: Volvo V70

Bilstein B8s…..by a long shot. You get the lowering support you need and the ride comfort is almost on par with stock ride. Only the worst road hazards are felt.

Pros: ride comfort is good
Cons: worst road hazards felt

Put 5100's on my 2014 to replace the blown out ranchos about 3 years back. Worth it, i reused my existing springs and they mounted without a problem. Ride is awesome and you can get them on amazon.

Pros: ride is awesome
Vehicle: Nissan

I find the 6112s ride a bit better at a slightly higher speed compared to 5100s. Taking rough gravel roads in my truck at 25-30 mph is a little rough, but it surprisingly smooths out around 40-45 mph.

Pros: smooths out around 40-45
Cons: rough at 25-30 mph

Rock Auto had Monroe shocks & struts for $12 & $8/ea for it, so I bought new. Turns out that's what came out of the car and his weren't too bad but let's face it, they're garbage.

Pros: cheap price
Cons: garbage quality
Vehicle: Volkswagen Fox
