I did it on my 2009 Corolla standing at 130k km. The chap who installed it said that I’d need to replace those within a year. It has been four now and it is still working as it should.

Pros: working as it should, long-lasting
Mileage: 130000 km

The difference is night and day, car is 30mm lower front and 15mm in the back. Feels more planted, feedback is more responsive and absorbs bumps a bit firmer but still feels nicer than the floatier stock setup. Previously would float into a corner whereas it feels predictable and how a Bimmer should.

Pros: more planted, responsive feedback
Cons: bumps a bit firmer
Mileage: 64373 km

If you are content with stock and just want to refresh, there are many options, but Sachs is a reliable stock brand for shocks.

Pros: reliable stock brand

Monroe’s tend to be very good OE equivalents. Just put a set on a p2 Volvo v70r and they ride pretty damn good in my opinion.

Pros: very good OE equivalents, ride pretty good
Vehicle: Volvo V70

I recently replaced them with the Sachs oe equivalent to save money. They’re a softer ride than the B4 and in hindsight, while not a bad purchase, I would have preferred the B4.

Pros: cost-effective, not bad purchase
Cons: softer ride than B4, preferred B4
Vehicle: BMW
