I have an 06’ legacy. Bought the kyb quick struts and haven’t had any problems - ride seems to be comparable to the original ride quality.
KYB is the OE for the base level 4Runner so I would say they’re probably a good option. I’ve never heard anybody say anything good about Monroe in recent years or their subsidiary, Rancho.
The best results i have had was using the OEM strut mount and installed kyb struts in it.
For struts I replaced with KYB, no easy to find, but they worked. I had to purchase throfor the 03-04 S models, though mine is an 02 S model. Everything for me bolted on just fine and have been running them for about 8k miles.
Just installed some KYB and happy with it.
I've used various manufacturers. KYB have always been good. I only use them now
Ride height went up by 2” on the new struts, I’m not surprised the KYB equipment looks like it’s sitting taller.
Just replaced my 2008 Highlander struts with quick struts made by KYB an OEM manufacturer for Toyota. The struts, coils and springs are all made by KYB BUT they do not ride like the OEMs and are far stiffer. $800 vs $1500 - would I do this again. Probably spring for the direct OEM parts from stealer vs the KYB quick struts.
Don’t get KYB I got them on my Camry and they didn’t last long. Just get the factory struts IMO.
Although KYB makes very good bare struts, The preassembled KYB strut plus assemblies are straight up garbage. The strut top mounts and springs that KYB uses are absolutely trash and generally fail extremely quickly, if they aren't just failed right out of the box.
