I'm running Monroe blacks front and back. Blues are too soft, in my opinion.

Try to not to be a stickler for the same brand - what matters is the valving, and their all kinda the same at similar price points. You can always paint them the same color.

Monroe and Gabriel are pretty on par with each other.

KYB is my next level "up".

Bilstien is usually very good, but you pay for that.

You can always spend more....
