After I replaced Frt/Rr shocks on the Montero and Frt/Rr struts on my Camry I've decided NOT to buy KYB again. Only the rear Montero shocks were banded (seems a common complaint) while the fronts were a struggle to get compressed enough to install - and these were the Gas-a-Just, not the higher pressure Monomax. The Camry's were ordered with installation accessories that proved of such poor quality that I had to use some of the original mount parts. I've learned and agree that KYB stands for "Keep Your Bilteins".
