Shock absorbers KONI or Monroe

I installed it on my RF and there are no issues.

Ive put dozens of monroe shocks on Prius from rock auto, no complaints

I'd consider the KONI STRT if available for the 2012.

Some one already said it but I recently did koni yellows and HR OE sport springs for mine. On the koni "stock ride hight" setting it sits nice and is a very comfortable ride since the HR springs lower it to a classy level without bottoming out ever.

I did koni orange shocks with eibach pro springs - been dailying it for 5 or so years. It sits about 1in lower than stock.

I went with Koni Super active as an "upgrade" from oem and I'm very happy with those.

I have mildly upgraded shocks (koni active) but otherwise stock and the ride quality is pretty good

I swapped them into my 2018 performance and the difference was extremely subtle.

Just put those same ones on my 96 f250 and they're soft AF.

My experience with Monroe shocks over the last 42 years of working on cars. Monroe might have a lifetime warranty like the KYB has, accept even though the replacement is free, you still have the hassle of replacing the Monroe shocks every 2 to 3 years.
