Monroe Sensatrac?

[pinoy724]

Has anyone put on Monroe Sensatrac with lowering springs? Are they coparable to KYB's?

Im guessing they probably about the same as GR2s. The GR2s are probably cheaper. You also have a thousand plus people that stand behind the GR2s. The Sensatracs were meant for stock ride height. Something to think about.....

I have them on with Progress Springs....The ride is okay but they have a lot of bounce in them. Not stiff at all.

The KYBs and Monroes are completely different types of shocks/struts.

The Sensatrac is a twintube shock designed for comfort. Most twintube shocks have a certain amount of comfortable travel before ride dampening is weakened or reduced by lowering a vehicle. The KYB AGX is a monotube shock/strut designed for performance, not comfort.

Didnt know that they were set up like that. Thanks for the heads up!

Monroes aren't meant for use for modified suspensions. They are a alternative replacement for OEM with more emphasis on ride comfort and performance on OEM spec suspensions.

The more "performance" oriented suspensions like KYB, Tokico, Bilstein, etc etc do make OE replacement struts/shocks, but do offer a alternative option for those with modified suspensions.

RedGalant pretty much nailed it right on the money the differences.

I say go tokico if you are dropping
