After the big disappointment from Monroe shock we ordered this ones on sale($65) and they are the best, our little car rides much better.

Fit perfectly. Can tell immediate difference if your in need of shocks

They make more noise then the used ones I had on the car! Don’t fit very good either😠

Purchased to install in a 2008 Honda Fit. Having had a Honda Civic and installed shocks on it I was aware of the potential problems with the lower shock mounting bolt. The first thing I would advise anyone to do is to order new bolts from Honda. Part number is 90176-SFA-010. They are kinda pricey for a bolt but it can potentially save you a lot of grief during the install. When we had the Civic we ended up having to cut the bolts out with a recip saw to remove the shock. Hour long job took two days.Night before I sprayed some WD-40 on the bolts and lower shock mount. It took some effort but I actually succeeded in removing the bolts. They were quite rusty so replaced them with the new ones anyway.Well since this is actually a review on the shocks I will say that they are great and every bit as good as OEM. All parts included. If you need instructions they are of the Ikea type. Kinda hard to figure out.

Exactly like the oem

These are identical to the 2007 Fit OEM shocks. Dealer wanted $900 but installing them yourself is super easy compared to other cars. No need to compress the springs, no need to disassemble the suspension, easy access to the top bolt. Soaked the bottom bolts with PB Blaster. Used a 2ft breaker bar to undo the bolts and a jack under the spring to relieve the stress on the bolt and help with installation. Overall a simple and very doable job.

Let me start by saying these shocks are wonderful! My Fit had 135k on the originals and I thought they were still pretty nice, but one started leaking. Once the new ones were on, it was a night and day difference. The rear is amazingly tight, and I love the response they give. Do not hesitate to run these on your car.Now the bad. Box 1 had the full hardware kit. Box 2 had a strip of Amazon packing tape on it... and no hardware at all. Ok, can't blame KYB for that. Sent it back and requested a new one from Amazon. Box 3 was missing a washer and the top nut. Now I miss a good weekend to work on my car. I decide to reach out to KYB and ask for a nut. The next day I have a box on my porch! I open Box 4, and what is supposed to be the full hardware packet is missing a washer and the spacer.At least at this point I have 2 full sets out of 4 boxes, but I'm like wtf KYB?! Installation was a nightmare and I ended up paying a shop to do it, but that's due to NE weather seizing all the bolts, not the product. Check out the picture to see my 4 sets of hardware I had to go through. In the end it was worth it, but it cost me an extra 2 weeks to get everything. Would totally but again though, great performance for the price and really a quality product!

Quality like oem, very good shocks

Fit the rear of my wife's 2008 Honda Fit like they're supposed to. No complaints.Post-script side-note: If you are replacing the rear shocks on a Honda Fit, you may have trouble getting the lower bolts out because they become seized to the metal shock bushing. I suggest getting a reciprocating saw and cutting them out and buying new bolts from the dealership (trust me; it's the fastest way). When you go to put in the new lower shock bolts, put some anti-seize on the grip of the bolt and on the metal bushing inside the shock. That should, hopefully, keep them from seizing again and help the next time you have to remove them.

Not too much to say about these rear replacement shocks - they "fit" perfectly in our 2008 Fit - Sport model. It's amazing what one can get used to over time. The car has the handling it did when new; should have replaced them awhile ago.Now to the installation... If you're buying parts on Amazon, you likely plan to do this yourself. This should be an easy job - maybe 30 minutes to an hour not counting finding tools. For perspective, I replaced rear shocks and springs on our BMW in about 2 hours. For the Fit, it took me 4 solid, painful evenings. I expect that this job would be easy if your roads are not bathed in an inch of salt every time snow enters the forecast. If you don't live in such a location, have fun and enjoy the quick, satisfying improvement to your car. If you live in a place I described, read on... Here is the story:1) Soaked the bolts with SiliKroil for 3 days ahead of work (or use your favorite such as PB Blaster, etc.)2) Jacked up car, removed one wheel, attempted to free the bolt at the base of shock with a socket wrench breaker bar and 14mm impact socket3) No luck, added 4' cheater to breaker bar and broke the bolt loose4) Continued with 4' cheater on ratchet for a good hour, one click at a time. Bolt never started to turn easy enough to just use the ratchet. Probably a good time to quit.5) Night fell and I, believing all bolts that are turning will come out, kept wrenching until I realized the bolt was out of the welded nut but not dropping out of the shock. The bracket at the base of the shock opened up as I wrenched away which is why it took so much torque to extract the bolt. The bushing in the shock is observed to spin with the bolt.6) Next night decided to try the other side. Same issue. Damaged both 10mm x 73 x 1.25 pitch unique bolts only available from Honda.7) Called Honda and ordered replacement bolts. Took time off from project.8) Picked up bolts and stopped by the service desk. Very helpful at dealer - stated that this happens most of the time. "Do you have a Sawzall?" As luck would have it I do. "That's how we remove the shocks. You have to cut the bolts out". The bolt is nearly welded inside the shock bushing. See photo attached.9) Cut bolts out of the lower mount bracket on both sides of the lower shock bushing. Cut close to the shock bushing on the thread end (away from the bolt head) so that you can grab the remaining bolt in the nut with a vise-grips and back it out.10) Using a 10mmx1.25 tap, chase the threads in the welded nut because they are probably damage from one or more of the previous steps. If you don't, back to the Honda dealer for more bolts after you try to install them.11) Install the new shocks and wish one more time that you didn't have to do everything yourself.12) Feel good that the car rides nice, handles better, and you didn't get hurt in the end.13) Write review on Amazon to perhaps help someone avoid a similar experience.

They seem OK. Wife had most of front suspension professionally replaced due to failure after 160,000mi. I did the rear shocks to match. I probably could have completed this in less time without removing the wheels.Instructional diagram says to drill the old shocks and drain the oil before disposal. If your old shocks (like these) are gas-filled and not completely blown, might not want to do this. You'll know they are gas-filled by reading them or by them not staying compressed. Another issue I have with the instructions is that they show pliers on the spindle to oppose the force of the wrench, not only is this often not advised, it is completely unnecessary; these are designed with for an allen wrench to keep them from turning.
