I run KYB Monomax shocks on mine. They have a nice balance of a comfortable ride and weight support for towing. As an added bonus you get a lifetime warranty with them.
Pros: comfortable ride, weight support
Put on some KYB Excel-G shocks- avail at Rock Auto. Think I paid about $60/pair They’re Plain Jane (flat black) and the ones we got (lifted older SUV) doesn’t have the rubber boots that take on & hold water- happened several times to an old truck of mine.
Pros: affordable, plain jane
Cons: boots hold water
Kyb on our 2010 elantra. Better than original!
Pros: better than original
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I would suggest at least better shock absorbers (the emu ones are good but I've heard that the Koni adjustable shocks are a lot better especially for the body roll)
Pros: better for body roll
Vehicle:
Suzuki Jimny
I used Gabriel's on front and KYB in the back. I also replaced the sway bar links. They were busted and rusted out/seized to strut.
Pros: replaced sway bar links
Cons: busted and rusted
Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.
Pros: awesome for cornering
Cons: bit stiffer now
Vehicle:
Saab
I have a 2006 9-3 aero with the v6 and it is a little harsh but I have recently upgraded and gone for bilstein b8 kit with Vogtland lowering springs. I have to say the ride is nice and firm when needed and soft enough day to day.
Pros: nice and firm ride
Cons: a little harsh
Vehicle:
Saab
Now I have koni yellows and h&r race springs. Ride is pretty close to stock but now it's too low.
Pros: close to stock
Cons: too low
I put those on my 2007 Maxima and didn't have a good result. The rear KYB shock absorbers were way too stiff and they made the car bouncy at highway speeds.
Cons: too stiff, bouncy at highway speeds
Vehicle:
Nissan Maxima
