Shock absorbers FOX or Monroe
Fox 2.0s on my wife’s suburban, very happy with them.
Pros: very happy
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
I always ran Monroe shocks on my Rangers/B series since I did mostly on road driving and they held up great when I did go off road.
Pros: held up great
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
I put on the fox shocks and Rubicon front springs as wells as some 34’s and it does great off road while still towing well.
Pros: great off road, tows well
Vehicle:
Jeep
New Monroe (factory supplier, found their stampings on the shocks) front shocks en route.
Pros: factory supplier
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Monroe OE Spectrum. It had better valving than what comes stock. Where I live it’s about 70-80 a pair so easy on the wallet and produces a nice smooth ride.
Pros: nice smooth ride
Cons: better valving needed
I opted for Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks after finding a very good deal. The Fox shocks are excellent.
Pros: Fox shocks are excellent
In my house we have two Passat CC, one from 2008 and one from 2010. Both have DCC suspension. Both have the same kilometers (120,000 km) and the same engine, but one of them has a different behavior than the other. It seems that the DCC, the \"active\" part, does not work. When I change from \"Comfort\" to \"Sport\" I do notice that they get harder, but when I enter a roundabout it seems that the outer shock absorbers do not harden. I have changed the 4 shock absorbers for new \"RideSense\" from Monroe, like the originals and the same thing continues to happen. The change between \"Comfort\" and \"Sport\" is also noticeable, but I do not perceive that the active function that regulates the suspension when cornering is working.
Pros: noticeable change Comfort/Sport
Cons: active function not working
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
Mileage: 120000 km
My experience with Monroe shocks was that "lifetime warranty" means, "for the lifetime of the shock".
Cons: warranty not honored easily
Mileage: 25000 km
I've never had a good set or known anyone who did. I've had Monroes faill in less than 1k miles on my Rabbit.
Cons: fail in less than 1k
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 1000 km
