Shock absorbers KYB or Monroe

KYB Shock absorbers

  • Bottoming:
Rating 4.5

Ive had the same set of KYB Excels on front/rear for the last 70,000mi. They have held up incredibly well. Stiff enough to handle payload but responsive enough to mitigate a pothole on commuter roads. I would buy again, the price is great and they've lasted years.

Pros: held up well, handles payload, responsive, great price, lasted years
Mileage: 70000 km

Kyb are some of the best shocks you can get in terms of quality and lifespan. That being said they’re known for being stiffer. I happen to like it since it minimizes body roll and improves handling. Better loaded performance when towing or hauling heavy too. But you will notice it ride a little harsher.

Pros: good quality, long lifespan, minimizes body roll, improves handling, better loaded performance
Cons: stiffer ride, a little harsher

Just replaced all 4 corners on my Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro with the Westcott Designs lift and Fox shocks and the Monroe ride a million times better than that set up with 70k miles on it.

Pros: ride a million times better

Mileage: 112654 km

KYB Shock absorbers

I've used them before a couple of times. They're decent for the price just don't expect high end performance valving in them. If all you do is daily drive it to work and back home and do your shopping in it. They are 100% fine and perfect for that if you wanted more of a GT car.

Pros: decent for the price
Cons: no high end performance

KYB Shock absorbers

Now, for the shocks, one was fine. It looked dirty but didn’t look used. The second one however, wasn’t even the part that I ordered. For reference, I ordered (2) ###612. I only got one of those, and got one beat up used garbage ###613. Like, it was so obvious it was used. It was dirty as hell, the shock leaking oil all over, and the thread on the bottom was literally cracked/chipped off and messed up. So I kept the right shock, returned the other one I got a refund for it and just bought a brand new shock instead.

Pros: one shock fine
Cons: beat up, used, leaking oil, cracked thread, wrong part
Vehicle: Toyota
Part number: ###613
