I was thinking about this setup. Did you notice any difference in ride quality one way or another with the quick struts? I used Monroe struts years ago on my old Pathfinder and the ride was worse than the old original struts I had in and they didn't last very long. But that was about 10 years ago so thing have changed since then in sure.jrobers wrote:I have the Monroe Quickstruts on the front and the KYB Gas a Justs on the rear, and im happy.
How do you like the Bilstein's? I've had gas a justs before and they were definitely stiffer than oem, but I was happy with them.

I'm happy with the Bilsteins. Honestly, I noticed a lot more difference when installing the Airlift 1000 air bags than I did with the rear struts. Bilsteins are the popular choice in the rear, but, like the Bilsteins, the KYB Gas-a-justs and the Monroe Reflex are also monotube designs, so I'm not sure if there is a noticeable difference in performance between them. People who have installed the Reflex shocks seems to be happy with them. The one thing I can say about the Bilsteins is that they look better; there's no mistaking a Bilstein shock with that bright yellow and blue coloring....but, then again, who looks at your shocks?00pathySE wrote:How do you like the Bilstein's?
