There are a few sub-brands of monroe to choose from,the best you'd go for are the yellow heavy duty ones for ur x-trail. If you don't know the difference i'd rather you buy new KYB shocks because they are the original by default manufacturers of first time shocks on most japanese vehicles

This is blackman from Eldy. You can collect all your old shocks that haven't leaked out and sell them to me

@all

Where can I get genuine good shocks and at what price,for my toyota saloon car. I bought a pair of kayaba rear shocks only two months ago and they are already leaking!!!(or am I LSHTTARDML)

I hear nowdays some just refill with oil and have the shocks get a fresh paint. Please advice

I'm wondering which would be the best shocks for Nissan B15.

For my Landcruiser I usually remove the height control crap from Japan and put Kayaba Extra-G shocks (original) and King Coil Springs (from Monroe).

That way I have a comfy ride on Uhuru Highway and firmness when I'm in the park looking for rare birds.

And they last until I upgrade the car every 2 to 3 years.

@Money Whisperer - Thanks. So Kayaba is the way to go..I'll try them. Next challenge is where to get original ones and at the best price.

So... umm.... where to get KYB springs at a good price?
Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty.
I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.
