I read from a thread before that the monroe shocks and struts are stiffer than the KYB's... just want to know if this is true or not. So if any of you guys have the monroe shocks and struts installed please let me know the difference. thanks

I've heard the Monroe struts are horrible...but I've never had experience with them, so maybe they are ok. I couldn't image them being much better than the KYBs (if at all).

I have KYB's right now on the front and back and I'm thinking of changing the front to Monroe. I'm not sure but I think one of the EC6G has Monroes on them. -------------------- -Derick
