It depends on your intended use. I spend most of my time on the freeway, so Monroes are fine. For better handling and stiffer ride, Koni or Bilstiens etc. Maybe for the best of both worlds get adjustable$.

KONIs...

My vote for best all around shock is the KONI Sport Yellow. Lifetime warranty, incredible build quality and fully adjustable.

On a budget the KYB's are a great shock/strut for the money. If money is not a concern get the Koni's, you will not be dissapointed.

I went with the Monroes too since my car is for the street & anything should be better than the original shock/struts. I was also able to get them local & avoid shipping!
