Shock absorbers Monroe or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Ive put dozens of monroe shocks on Prius from rock auto, no complaints
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
I got the same thing off of eBay for $900 low fronts (30mm), super low rear (40-50mm) sits level and i didn't notice a difference in ride stiffness with the Monroe's
Pros: sits level, no difference in stiffness
Monroe is the way to go honestly. They are some of the best on the market for OEM fit.
Pros: best on the market
Monroe gas charged, why spend hundreds when less is just as good as those expensive ones.
Pros: good value, just as good
For stock, I've heard decent things about Monroe shocks.
Pros: decent things
I bought Monroes. They make an oem shock setup that works fine for daily driving
Pros: works fine for daily driving
My experience with Monroe shocks over the last 42 years of working on cars. Monroe might have a lifetime warranty like the KYB has, accept even though the replacement is free, you still have the hassle of replacing the Monroe shocks every 2 to 3 years.
Cons: hassle of replacing every 2-3 years
I put Monroe's on mine a while ago and I hate them
Cons: poor performance
In my experience ever since Tenneco bought Monroe they have been trash. Back when I worked for Subaru the OE and KYB replacements regularly made it 100K, Monroe’s would give up in 40-50k.
Cons: give up quickly
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 45000 km
Monroe shocks on pick-up truck, not abused, only lasted two years. KYB was major improvement.
Cons: only lasted two years
