Shock absorbers Monroe or OEM Toyota

I’ve had Dobinson,bilsteins and now OME and I suggest Toyota OEM. That’ll be your best ride quality on the road by far.

Monroe OE Spectrum. It had better valving than what comes stock. Where I live it’s about 70-80 a pair so easy on the wallet and produces a nice smooth ride.

I use the Monroe version of these. Not too stiff of a ride but handle the extra weight very well.

They fit! No rubbing anywhere. What a difference. Win, win. Handles just as good, so much smoother.

Monroe is a long-time name brand and what I buy. They have worked well for me.

So far has worked out great, some models they don't fit because of clearance issues.

I have changed the 4 shock absorbers for new "RideSense" from Monroe, like the originals and the same thing continues to happen. The change between "Comfort" and "Sport" is also noticeable, but I do not perceive that the active function that regulates the suspension when cornering is working.

I've never had a good set or known anyone who did. I've had Monroes faill in less than 1k miles on my Rabbit.

My '04 VW Golf R32 came with Monroe shocks on the rear as OEM. They were 'floaty' feeling after less than 10k miles. I put a total of 25k on them before I just couldn't stand it anymore.

When I had my 337 GTI, the Monroe shocks it came with DRASTICALLY changed in performance by the 20k mile mark.. The suspension was MUCH bouncier and less tight as when I first got the car. The was car driven very spirited.
