I purchases Monroe Reflex and have been very happy with them at a fraction of the cost. I think I ordered them from Autobarn.

I considered the Ranchos too, since many spoke highly of them as an alternative to the Bilsteins.

I have those on my F150,and they're a good quality shock.Not as good as the Bilstein,but a good shock.

I honestly don't see the BIG $$$$ hype with these shock options. $250 for a set of 4 shocks (Bilsteins) is reasonable compared to the cost of my other vehicles shock replacements. In Finally finding a reply that actually stated a PRICE I was shocked at all the hype...heh

Anyways...I visited Shox.com (Great site/vendor) and noticed that there is a Tokico Option (I have used them on my Tbird SC) as well as a KONI option. I am curious if anyone has tried either of those on their Expedition or Navigator.

Tokico is only $189 & KONI is more @ $320 for sets of FOUR...

I see sway bars available as well...Anyone using one??

Cheers,

Brad
