Comparisons
I have used Monroe and KYB. Both work equally well.
Pros: work equally well
Go with KYB if you’re not going OEM.
I’m lowered 1.5 inches and I have KYB foxbody struts, cost me $130 for all four and it rides great
Pros: rides great
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I ran KYB struts in the front of my sedan. It’s been about 3-4 years now and no problems. They still feel strong and confident and I live with Pennsylvania potholes lol
Pros: strong and confident
Cons: Pennsylvania potholes
I just installed the N3 loaded struts from Rough Country yesterday. Went out for a test drive afterwards and drove the truck to and from work today. Truck handles so much better than OEM shocks/struts. They are much softer and feel more “planted.” BUT, my OEM shocks were pretty bad. I’m sure a suspension setup north of $1k would ride better than this setup. But for $330, this setup is well worth it and is a night and day difference.
Pros: much softer, feels planted
Cons: OEM shocks were bad
KYB struts are reputable but they aren't known for being softer. I also know of issues with the easy strut assemblies causing clunking sounds.
Pros: reputable
Cons: clunking sounds
I have 2013 accord cp and replaced all four struts from monroe (oespectrum) with the stock spring. The ride is comfortable but the suspension feels abit busy on harsher road conditions.
Pros: comfortable ride
Cons: busy on harsh roads
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I keep using Monroe quick struts because they're the cheapest option that isn't complete garbage but I usually come to regret it.
Pros: cheapest option
Cons: usually come to regret
I bought monroe quik struts (wholesaler closeout) Left side was hitting the inner wheel well, spring was wider than the other.
Cons: hitting inner wheel well
