Shock absorbers FOX or Monroe
I use the Monroe version of these. Not too stiff of a ride but handle the extra weight very well.
Pros: handle extra weight well
Cons: not too stiff
They fit! No rubbing anywhere. What a difference. Win, win. Handles just as good, so much smoother.
Pros: Handles good, so much smoother
I know they are in a little different class, but my Jeep has never been as comfortable as it is now that it's on FOX remote reservoir shocks. The off-road performance is great too.
Pros: comfortable, great performance
Vehicle:
Jeep
Monroe is a long-time name brand and what I buy. They have worked well for me.
Pros: worked well
So far has worked out great, some models they don't fit because of clearance issues.
Pros: worked out great
Cons: clearance issues
Part number: 58640
i bought some Cheap monroe oem style shocks and i have a nice soft ride for an every day Car.
Pros: nice soft ride
Vehicle:
Audi TT
Mileage: 220000 km
If you decide to go with the Routan SE you could change out the rear shocks for Monroe Sensa Trac. They are load adjusting and will support the extra weight of towing. They were very easy to install on our SUV, provide better handling and the vehicle stays level with over 500 pounds loaded in the back.
Pros: easy to install, better handling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 58648
Monroe is not a bad thing. Saleen used the Formula GP's until they started producing thier own. I have them on my Camaro, among other things, and it pulls .88 G's on the skidpad.
Pros: Pulls .88 G's
Cons: not a bad thing
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
My '04 VW Golf R32 came with Monroe shocks on the rear as OEM. They were 'floaty' feeling after less than 10k miles. I put a total of 25k on them before I just couldn't stand it anymore.
Cons: floaty feeling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 10000 km
When I had my 337 GTI, the Monroe shocks it came with DRASTICALLY changed in performance by the 20k mile mark.. The suspension was MUCH bouncier and less tight as when I first got the car. The was car driven very spirited.
Pros: tighter suspension initially
Cons: bouncier, less tight
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 32186 km
