I recommend KYB shocks but not the Gas a Just ones. Swapped the oem ones out of my Wrangler and installed the silver ones. Rode a lot smoother, and Not expensive.
Monroe OESpectrums have a great ride and are very affordable.
I found on a forum that rear springs for the 2009-2012 Vera Cruz fit the Santa Fe and give it approximately a one inch lift over stock and a much superior spring rate. Along with a new set of KYB gas shocks it changed the ride of the vehicle drastically for the better.
The originals are Monroes if I'm not mistaken. I've replaced them all round on the my F from Autodoc as well, with new ones same brand. Fairly cheap and easy to fit.
I had a shop recommended KYB, but I went for the cheaper Monroe brand on Amazon. I got it installed today and so far the ride is smooth.
I just lowered my wife's car (per her request) on H&R springs with new kyb shocks. It rides a bit stiffer (as expected) but no issues with rubbing or alignment. The turn-in response is greatly improved as well as body roll reduction.
Happy with the cheap kyb gas a just shocks I have on my c1500 for the money but I prefer bilsteins and have had them in many vehicles.
Ordered 2 stock rear shocks , Monroe offroad type real bellows and a rear spring.
Two years ago,I bought kyb left (usa)and right(china). Kyb right side made in china leak in a week and they send new made usa but have pay return shipping fee.
Yes Monroe are junk. Anything Tenneco touches usually becomes junk. Monroe started coming OE on Audi in the last couple years and I am seeing them fail in as little as 15,000 miles.
