Shock absorbers KYB or Monroe

I just put a full set of the kyb shocks into my vy ss. But they seem pretty good. Can't fault them.

I like KYB shocks for daily driving because they’re softer than bilsteins or rancho. I’m running Moog constant rate springs with KYB shocks and it’s a smooth predictable ride. I used them in a Pontiac torrent and wrangler with the same results.

Monroe is the way to go honestly. They are some of the best on the market for OEM fit.

for my 2008 Prius I did kyb all four corners in 2019 and the dust boots have now disintegrated. the shocks themselves are still fine.

Monroe gas charged, why spend hundreds when less is just as good as those expensive ones.

Make sure the shocks you buy ars KYB. These cars are heavy and have a tendency to eat cheap shocks.

They’re fine stock replacements, mine just started to leak after 4k years and roughly 20,000 miles

I've used those on several other cars and they're a solid "fine". They work, and they're not bad. Just don't expect them to be amazing.

Monroe shocks on pick-up truck, not abused, only lasted two years. KYB was major improvement.

I had kybs snap off at the weld on one end. Not even doing anything wild, just on the highway. Never buying them again.
