I bought KYB shocks few years ago on Amazon for my C1500. Way cheaper compared to local parts store.
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.
I would go with KYB, best for the price at least
Go with KYB on Rock Auto. They seem to ride like oem, maybe a touch stiffer before break-in.
I bought the shocks. They're good, very happy with them. Setting 1 is basically stock, though was better controlled with what I had. Setting 8 is noticeably firmer - allows much quicker inputs. Currently have them on 3/8 all around and car is balanced - maybe about as firm as an NB RS.
the ride with the kyb's was quite good.
Replace or upgrade shock absorbers / dampers. These are doing the hard work on rougher roads to keep everything under control. KYB seems a reasonable OEM+ style option
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.
Annoyingly I have a 1 year old kyb excel g that popped its seal. Cost to ship it back for warranty not worth it.
Every time I get kyb they work great for like 6 months to a year and then they suck. I put the OEM shocks on my truck cause I didnt wanna keep changing them.
