Monroe or KYB?

Hi again, thanks for the help on the problems with my shocks. It looks like the rear shocks are going on my GTA, and I'm most likely going to take the car in to get new shocks installed.

But I have a question, while this might seem obvious, what are the differences between Monroe shocks and KYB shocks (i.e. cost, performance in all types of situations, from commuting to racing)?

Thanks again for your help!

I'm not sure on the differences, but I got KYB's a while back and am satisfied with them.
Also, really easy to install, might want to consider doing it yourself and save some $$.

Replacing the rear shocks is REALLY easy.

I have used monroe and gabriel struts and shocks she shocks didnt seam too bad but the struts were really mushy from both companys its really best to use the same brands all around so use a good quality in rear so when you do the front they will match and not feel like an old ford truck
