Shock absorbers FOX or KONI

I don't have a lot of comparison points, but I went Fox and love them. Great ride, but not at all sloppy, and really improved the handling.

I also felt that swapping to Koni shocks in the rear made the car feel better to drive -- the stock rear shocks didn't have much low speed rebound, so the trunk would feel like it was floating if I went over crests. The Konis fixed that.

I put Foxes on about 1500 miles ago, they’ve been great so far. It’s all about the driving you do - I’m 100% on road, so they work for me.

I got Koni Yellows. Adjustable dampening and they don't rattle/clunk like the Billstein B6's apparently do.

Konis are amazing, I won't ever run anything else.

Fox 2.5" internal bypass shock and springs off a 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.

Adds about 1" in height. Rides a bit firmer that stock shocks on paved roads and performs great off-road.

I have a set of the adjustable yellow sports using the stock springs. Firm but not harsh, I run them around halfway between soft and hard. One of the best upgrades I've done.

I’m quite partial to koni struts/shocks. You can adjust the rebound rate to make them softer for your commute but stiffen them up when you get to hit those mountain roads

Plus they work on stock springs if you’re like me and like the car not bottoming out

Of course, my suspension is not stock, although all the parts are OEM except for the Koni shocks/strut.

My experience with Koni Orange STR.T shocks has been less than favorable. I have them on my 2006 Jetta TDI and they are absolute crap. Far worse than the blown out OEM shocks they replaced.
