Review on ๐Ÿš— Monroe 5752 OESpectrum Passenger Car Shock Absorber: Enhanced Performance and Comfort for Your Vehicle by Jesus Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Universal shock absorbers, universal use, universal price

With some creative modifications I was able to install them on the back of my 2000 Honda Insight. The OEM shocks were so outdated that at first you'd think someone had replaced my rear tires with frogs' legs. Honda charged $188 for the rear shock for new. Now when you start paying that much to keep an economical car on the road (don't get me started on batteries), take "Economy" from "Economy Car". Those Monroe shocks did the trick for a ridiculous fraction of what they might have cost. How do they work you ask? In the 10,000 miles since I put them on, the rear tires have stayed firmly on the road where they belong. Even if they don't last as long as stock dampers, I would happily buy them again, put them on and keep riding.

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Protection
