The shocks seem well made and were heavier and more robust than the original. The struts were also solidly constructed. Shocks and struts fit perfectly and it took me about 3 hours to replace all 4 components.Getting the 2 bolt pins out was the hardest part, the video makes it look easy but those things are stuck in there good. I soaked them in penetrating oil and put the nuts back on the end of the bolts to protect the thread and hit them squarely with a hammer to pop them loose.Using a second jack to raise things up was helpful to get it aligned to slip the pins back into the holes.

Installed these on my 2017 toyota tacoma and everything fit like oem with no problems. Ride quality is great. I'm gonna wait about a week to get an alignment so the fronts struts can settle. No complaints with the product and highly recommend.

I was going through the regular, mainly duralast, shocks very quickly 1-2 years at best. We have a small family farm so I do put a bit of weight in the back of my 2005 Chevy Suburban. But really 2 years was the best I was getting out of other shocks which at the current not awesome prices is unacceptable. So I started looking for a bit of an upgrade and came across these at a much better price than the part stores. So first off I grabbed a Wearhouse deal (because I love them! ) so mine came in repacked and NOT pre-compressed so that made putting them on a bit more tricky. We just had to jack the truck up in stages because the jacks I had didn't go that high. Other than that they went on pretty easy. LOL It looks like I have a lift kit in the back now. It brought the rear up at least an additional 8". The less the kept up roads around here (including our driveway) are much less bone jarring to drive over now. Much smoother ride, I am going to look for front ones of these now. Some of our frequent outings are over very much in need of TLC roads and with these they were much less of a roller coaster. For comparison it took 300+lbs of animal feed in the back to bring these shocks down to what the other shocks were at brand new with no load in the back.

I PURCHASED FOR MY 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED AND THEY DID FIT AND WERE EASY TO INSTALL. AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS OF DRIVING, IT WAS LIKE I NEVER REPLACED THE OLD ONES. THESE STRUTS AND SHOCKS WERE USELESS AND DID NOT EVEN HAVE A BRAND OR ANYTHING LABELED ON THEM, SO FOR ALL I KNOW I COULD HAVE RECEIVED SOME USED NO NAME BRAND PRODUCT FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD PRICE. THE REAR STARTED LEAKING AND OF COARSE THEY ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE DRIVING WITH NO SUSPENSION AT ALL. I SHOULD HAVE JUST SPENT THE EXTRA $100 OR SO FOR A REAL BRAND NAME THAT WAS LOCAL INSTEAD OF SHOPPING ONLINE HOPING FOR A BETTER DEAL... ONCE AGAIN YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. ALSO WHEN THEY SHOCKS AND STRUTS DID ARRIVE THEY WERE ALL BEAT UP AND DAMAGED DUE TO THE FLIMSY BOXES THEY WERE SHIPPED IN.. YOU WOULD THINK THAT DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE ITEMS THEY WOULD HAVE USED BETTER PACKING MATERIAL BUT NO.. INSTEAD I WAS OFFERED 50% OFF OF SOME GENERIC PARTS THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD. THE ONLY REASON WHY I ACCEPTED THAT WAS BECAUSE I COULD NOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO RECEIVE ANOTHER SET DUE TO SHIPPING TOOK FOREVER. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

So, I bought these shocks because they were cheap and preloaded, so it was easier to install the front struts than without the springs compressed already. They work well enough and I read that it takes 1000 miles for shocks to truly break in and all I have now is 200 miles on them so hopefully they will get even better. As it is now the truck seems a little wonkier than it was, but it does make going over the potholes less traumatic. The Tacoma isn't getting beat to death going over bumps like it was. My problem is that when I go over the bumps I am always wondering what it would be like with a set of those $1200 shocks on the truck instead of these basement price shocks. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase. It seems to me that the Chinese are upping their level of quality when it comes to manufacturing products just like Japan and Taiwan did in the past... If they turn into crap I will write another review and give you guys the heads-up.

I bought these to eliminate spring compression issues, and they've lived up to my expectations. The ride quality is excellent and quiet. Installation was straightforward once I had the right tools.After two weeks, I'm very happy with them. They've made a huge difference in my ride quality.2018 Volkswagen Passat R-Line

I bought this set when I saw it on sale. After my purchase I started hearing all the horror stories about how cheap they are and how the brand is inferior to every other brand out there. Well after driving my car around for the past month after installation, I gotta say that my car has never ridden better. Even though there are other premium expensive brands out there, I would have no problem purchasing these again or any other TRQ item for that matter. My car has gone from bouncy and feeling every bump in the road, to handling like a dream. If you're in the market for new shocks and struts but need to save some money, look into TRQ. But as with any important purchase, do your research. Don't just take someone else's word for it. Because at the end of the day, you're the one out the money if you make a poor purchase.

These were perfect fit for my '08 Tahoe. I'm going to do it yourselfer and it was a little challenging getting the bolt out of the top of the shock. You have to remove the plastic splash guard behind each back wheel to even access it, and you'll need an extension to reach in the back side to take out the top bolt but other than that, took me about an hour for both sides. Seems to be a good quality product so far.

Los amortiguadores son al momento de buena calidad y funcionan bastante bien tanto baja como alta velocidad ya que lo llego a correr a altas velocidades y me funcionaron bien, la única diferencia es que la base de amortiguador viene con 3 en lugar de 6 orificios que traÃa la mÃa originalmente, aún asà se pudo ensamblar

What a great difference. Gave the normal feel back. 100% better than the air shocks.
