Shock absorbers Dobinsons or Monroe
I’ve rocked Monroe’s before and never had an issue.
Pros: no issues
Get some Monroe Reflex shocks . Not as good as Bilstiens but very good shocks and a good price also
Pros: very good shocks
Cons: not as good
I did it on my 2009 Corolla standing at 130k km. The chap who installed it said that I’d need to replace those within a year. It has been four now and it is still working as it should.
Pros: working as it should, long-lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 130000 km
IMS has been great for me, I don’t think I’d find myself using adjustment to its full potential so I chose to use the savings for aftermarket UCAs and LT rear
Pros: has been great
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.
Pros: firmer but less crashy
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases
Pros: rides like a Cadillac
Cons: harsh when empty
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
Monroe’s tend to be very good OE equivalents. Just put a set on a p2 Volvo v70r and they ride pretty damn good in my opinion.
Pros: very good OE equivalents, ride pretty good
Vehicle:
Volvo V70
Rock Auto had Monroe shocks & struts for $12 & $8/ea for it, so I bought new. Turns out that's what came out of the car and his weren't too bad but let's face it, they're garbage.
Pros: cheap price
Cons: garbage quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Fox
Been avoiding Monroe at the shop, they come back leaking too often.
Cons: leaking too often
I just put Monroes on all around and my truck rides like a Sherman tank.
Cons: rides like Sherman tank
