Have a (2008) Mazda 5. Started to look at (shocks and struts) for when they start to wear out. A few mechanics mentioned a (top-line) Monroe Shock and Strut system. They are (life time warranted). Does anyone know if these are any good? For what you get and the warranty the prices seem decent.

Get the Monroe!

 

So far so good with Monroe rear shocks. No problems at all, and as such I recommend them.

 

KYB or Monroe are far better than the Ford ones

 

I would agree. I am using KYBs all around and they are much better than the stock struts and shocks. I installed them myself and saved quite a bit of money. My local shop wanted $1100 installed and I did it with better parts for less than $300 through partsgeek.com. I even did the sway bar bushings front and rear for even better handling in the turns.
