Strut assembly KYB or Monroe

I’ve had good results with kyb.

Monroes will be fine.

I've replaced/upgraded the rears with loaded struts from Monroe which brought back a nice bounce in the rear end.

I got Monroe quick struts and they've been great so far.

I just ordered the kyb loaded strut assembly and put them on all 4 sides last week and they feel great

Installed the rear leafs, beam, new KYB struts, the mk3 GTI stub axles, now just waiting on new bearings, rotors, pads, and calipers for both sides.

I used Monroe struts on my 2005 Corolla... They’re good. Nothin amazing but if your current struts are really bad you’ll notice a big difference.

Spend for the KYBs. Second choice, Motorcraft. Monroes have disappointed me lately.

Id stay away from the monroe struts. I originally replaced my blown struts years ago with the monroe's since they were already built. Honestly hated them, made it just under 2 years and swapped them out for the b4's on all 4 corners (rear shocks needed replacing anyways). The monroe struts also had very little rebound left when i pulled them off.

Although KYB makes good quality OEM struts as well as good quality bare strut *cartridges*, their preassembled Strut-Plus aftermarket line use lower quality components and aren't very good... Specifically the top strut bearings are problematic on their Strut-Plus preassembled struts,I really wouldn't recommend them.
