Shock absorbers KYB or FOX

I run KYB Monomax shocks on mine. They have a nice balance of a comfortable ride and weight support for towing. As an added bonus you get a lifetime warranty with them.

Put on some KYB Excel-G shocks- avail at Rock Auto. Think I paid about $60/pair They’re Plain Jane (flat black) and the ones we got (lifted older SUV) doesn’t have the rubber boots that take on & hold water- happened several times to an old truck of mine.

Kyb on our 2010 elantra. Better than original!

KYB. Used on my gen 1 and worked great. Tried Monroe on another vehicle and they were soft and bouncy, replaced those with KYB also.

I also recently replaced the rear shocks. The rear shocks on the premium model with the adjustable controls are just stupid expensive, even from a dealer that sells at wholesale. Anyways, a GX owner found the KYB equivalent for $175 from Partsouq in Dubai. Ordered a pair plus new rubber mounts and installed those a few weeks ago.

My suggestion - buy a set of regular aftermarket shock absorbers but from a reliable manufacturer like KYB...You'll ride lower, it'll be a bit stiffer but you'll not lose your teeth fillings each time you hit a pothole.

I opted for Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks after finding a very good deal. The Fox shocks are excellent.

I use KYB's on beater passenger cars literally all the time because they last a lot longer than Monroe's and honestly they are good quality shocks (they are OEM on Toyotas and most Hondas I believe for a reason).

I have installed KYB Excel-G shocks on my 1998 Subaru Legacy GT and 2002 Lexus LS430. Both cars had worn out shocks and the new ones were an improvement.

My experience with KYB on Volkswagen's was not the greatest, they have a lifetime warranty, which is good, because I found myself replacing shocks constantly (about every 5,000 miles).
