Owner reviews for shock absorbers
Manufacturers
Comparisons
They are pretty close to the stock shocks, just like 10/15% stiffer.. I honestly ride speed bumps much faster in the 8 (regular 18" on non XL Michelin PS4) than with a 2024 Yaris with 16" lol.
Pros: 10-15% stiffer, faster over bumps
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just put a full set of the kyb shocks into my vy ss. But they seem pretty good. Can't fault them.
Pros: seem pretty good, no faults
I did .75 inch level with Bilstein 5100, stock wheels. Looks good and correct.
Pros: looks good, correct stance
$2500 got me Kings in front, Fox 2.0's and new springs in the rear. Wanted to keep it stock height and it did. Rides pretty good.
Pros: rides pretty good
I would highly recommend the 5160 in the rear. Matches the front performance better. I took my 5100 out in a month and replaced with 5160 and didn’t look back.
Pros: highly recommend, matches performance better
Bilstein 5100s are mid range and work great.
Pros: work great, mid range
I got the shock absorbers replaced (bmw genuine) - and the upper strut mount is good they said.
Knocking is better but is still there.
Pros: knocking is better
Cons: knocking is still there

Yes Monroe are junk. Anything Tenneco touches usually becomes junk. Monroe started coming OE on Audi in the last couple years and I am seeing them fail in as little as 15,000 miles.
Cons: Monroe are junk, fail quickly
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 15000 km
I bought KYB shocks from a distributor to install in the struts in my '04 crv, and they lasted less than a year.
Cons: lasted less than year
