Probably better than my KYB original ride quality.
Although I had good hopes, they turned out to be too soft in mine although I like a soft ride. Sometimes.

You might need to exercise the return policy. I've had to return several Monroes lately. Kind of a drag. Makes me think next time I'll buy a better brand and only have to do it once.

This dent is more than just cosmetic. The shock won't fully/smoothly compress and decompress.

I bought the last pair of Monroe OESpectrums on sale from Rock Auto for $18 a piece. That was for my 1995 XJ. I also bought the last pair of KYB Excel-G for my 1990 XJ, same price.
