monroe shock: how bad are they?
when I first bought my car,
I didnt know crap about cars(yes my camaro got me into cars)
so when i had my shocks done in a shop,
i didnt know and care about brand so i told them to put me a monroe,
the cheapest one.
they're now 10month old or so,
my question is, if I change my rear shock
to lets say, bilsteins,
will it make tons of difference?
caz i know monroe isnt the best,
its something like monroe < KYB < bilstein/koni
right?
plus is it ok to put bilstein in the rear
and leave the monroe in the front for now?(until i get enough $$)
thanks in advance

yes you'll feel a difference.
that quality stackup you showed is right
yes, but the front shocks will probably improve your handling the most. Kinda fitting, as it's more $.

thanks sonix, I knew it would be something like it:
monroe<kyb<koni&bilstein
since rear is easier,
im working on rear most of the time,
so i was just worried that it might give me like a imbalanced ride..
but if not ill go ahead and do some bilstein in the rear for now, thanks!
