Anyone running the Monroe Reflex Shocks?

What do you think?

I don't like Monroe... to be honest.

If you want a cheap shock, check out KYBs.

Lot of good talk about the KYB's for street applications and Jegs has them for $60 a set (front or back) with free shipping. I think I'll be giving these a try very soon myself.

I wasted money on those peices of ****. Should have just sucked it up sooner and bought my Edelbrock's. I love these shocks!

Check out Bogus post. Go with a set of KYB's. There a good inexpensive shock for the money.

I don't want a "Cheap" shock just the best for the Money.Fronts for the 4-Runner are $85.00 ea.Not cheap...Upgrades to the "Sensatrac" series.
Personally my Vettes have Billstien's.

I was gonna say...

Monroe shocks aren't 'cheap' in price. In fact I bet they are about what Billstein's cost.

I only have them on my daily driver, and not on my vette. Nothing special, but nothing bad either on that.

how about "value" then.

The KYBs are loaded with "value".
