I am running monroe struts on my 11 Fozz since 90K miles. Ride has been much softer with those. I like that better than OEM; personal preference.
I would go with Monroe. KYB is not what it was a decade ago.
My 2005 got monroe quick struts at all four corners two months ago. Just drove it 10 hours to Asheville NC and back, while full of chainsaws and tree climbing gear.
Drives great while winding theough mountain hairpins and rolling down insterstate at 80mph.
the Monroe ones have been fine and I have well over 100k on them
I just bought Monroe "heavy duty" struts for my Crown Victoria. The shocks are way too soft compared to oem, and they're leaking at only a year and a bit of age. Less than 15,000km on them. They also don't seem to have the same amount of travel compared to the oem, and I feel them slamming into the max extension bump stops. Done that since new.
The Monroe and kyb are both good products. I've had failures with both brands but it's not very often. The main difference I've personally noticed, is the Monroe quick struts trend to ride a bit stiff.
I bought Sachs once and don't know if I was unlucky, but they seemed underfilled. Hit repetitive bumps and they would immediately fade. Tires would bounce like basketballs. I could hear the oil frothing in them.
Kyb, bilstien or sachs. Everything else just is crap.
I keep using Monroe quick struts because they're the cheapest option that isn't complete garbage but I usually come to regret it.
I bought monroe quik struts (wholesaler closeout) Left side was hitting the inner wheel well, spring was wider than the other.
