What brand shocks do you have on the front? Do you like them?

I'm a big believer in having all four shocks from the same manufacturer.

I personally have Koni's front and rear. I've heard that Bilsteins are excellent also. I had Monroes before switching to the Konis.

If you're not happy with the front KYB's, replace all four.

If cost is an issue, I still have the Monroes I took off (I installed Koni coilovers up front for the ability to adjust front ride height and replaced the rears at the same time), they probably only have about 10,000 miles for them. $25.00 for all four, plus the shipping.

Yesterday I replaced worn out air shocks on rear and put KYBs on the back and all four are KYBs now and it rides great

Thanks
