I run KYB Monomax shocks on mine. They have a nice balance of a comfortable ride and weight support for towing. As an added bonus you get a lifetime warranty with them.
Put on some KYB Excel-G shocks- avail at Rock Auto. Think I paid about $60/pair They’re Plain Jane (flat black) and the ones we got (lifted older SUV) doesn’t have the rubber boots that take on & hold water- happened several times to an old truck of mine.
Kyb on our 2010 elantra. Better than original!
KYB. Used on my gen 1 and worked great. Tried Monroe on another vehicle and they were soft and bouncy, replaced those with KYB also.
Oem sachs if you want them to last for a good amount of years.
I also recently replaced the rear shocks. The rear shocks on the premium model with the adjustable controls are just stupid expensive, even from a dealer that sells at wholesale. Anyways, a GX owner found the KYB equivalent for $175 from Partsouq in Dubai. Ordered a pair plus new rubber mounts and installed those a few weeks ago.
My suggestion - buy a set of regular aftermarket shock absorbers but from a reliable manufacturer like KYB...You'll ride lower, it'll be a bit stiffer but you'll not lose your teeth fillings each time you hit a pothole.
I use KYB's on beater passenger cars literally all the time because they last a lot longer than Monroe's and honestly they are good quality shocks (they are OEM on Toyotas and most Hondas I believe for a reason).
I put KYB Excel-G on my 7th gen civic, they seem to ride fine, but for some reason the rear of the car sits an inch or two higher than the original stock suspension.
I kinda just went through it when we got it...new shocks (not really happy with the KYB I got, and wish I got new springs, too).
