Purchased to replace the stock front shocks at 70,000 miles They are comparable to the OEM in feel and handling. There are probably better shocks out there, but for the price, they're hard to beat. I've read about quality issues with Monroe shocks but haven't had any before. Admittedly, I've only driven 6,000-7,000 miles with these shocks. I could use the kit for the rear as well and am seriously considering it.
