Shock absorbers Monroe or Sachs

We also have really bad roads. Stock ride height and stock shock absorbers work very good. The factory specification is oil in the front and gas in the rear. We usually use Sachs on our cars.

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

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

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.

No meu carro troquei e coloquei Monroe, tem 2 anos e 17 mil km. Rodando perfeito.

Eu tenho um Audi A4 B8 SLine, comprei dois amortecedores na Audi originais SACHS foram €180 os dois!!!

I had the Seat Toledo, a rebadged Skoda Rapid basically. I changed the OEM shocks to aftermarket. The owner of the shop told me that VAG group uses Sachs, so i fitted Sachs. I hated it. The ride became a lot firmer, uncomfortable and annoying. However handing improved and the car felt more planted on the road. Asked the guy about it and told me that aftermarket shocks are generally firmer than OEM even if they come from the same company. Depends on what you prioritise. Comfort or handling.

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.

I put Monroe's on mine a while ago and I hate them

In my experience ever since Tenneco bought Monroe they have been trash. Back when I worked for Subaru the OE and KYB replacements regularly made it 100K, Monroe’s would give up in 40-50k.
