I saw the Bilsteins were in stock on RockAuto and picked up a set for the rear only.
Been using monroe in my 08 optra with a cng kit, it's working great for Indian roads for me. Planning to install monroe on my 09 city as well.
No grinding or clunking sounds. Just a slight gear whine at certain speeds. I recognize that this means that the gears weren’t perfectly setup and will thus wear faster, but I can live with that.
I am running monroe struts on my 11 Fozz since 90K miles. Ride has been much softer with those. I like that better than OEM; personal preference.
I would go with Monroe. KYB is not what it was a decade ago.
Monroe are okay but expect them to last maybe 50k miles, not 100k. Monroe is as close to OEM ride as you will get in aftermarket.
I have had decent luck with the Monroe ready-struts, they are decent enough for an older car, but they aren't the best things in the world either.
I've tried loaded struts a few times on these trucks, they just can't stand up to use of such a heavy vehicle, the bushings fail nearly instantly.
Same Monroe box you get at Napa for these. FWIW these are trash. Ride quality will be different and they won’t last very long.
Bought some Monroe's for my Camry. They were crap. I returned them.
