Granted It's been on but a weeks time & 400 miles, but it shows strong performance & if the longevity is like other KYB shocks I've had, it should give me 100k or more of performance & safety. I am using these on a 'Non-Stock' application, a 2002 Mercedes ML500 (aka w163 chassis) SUV. I did call KYB tech support & they guided me to this exact 'MonoMax' shock which dimenions are a perfect match for the Front position of my AWD Mercedes Benz SUV. It's other applications are Chevy Truck 2500 Front position and also Hummer H2. Both of those vehicles are probably a bit heavier than the ML, but not by much. In fact the ML Mercedes is a heavy beast of an SUV, whose smooth lines belie it's 4800# weight. And that heft actually makes the OEM front shock, seem overtaxed and oversoft for some driving conditions. For example, the ML320 & ML500 have different engines, and the latter is a V-8 that probably gets driven harder with larger loads, Combine that with our poorly paved rough rural roads & my 2 sizes larger than stock tires & yet get what I had: Stock shocks worn out by 2.5 years & 40,000 miles ! The stock shocks on our ML's are actually KYB's as well, but their more tame 'Excel G' which is a twin tube design. Not as heavy duty as these "MonoMax". So I'm thrilled these fit fine & work very nicely - the ride is about 2x firmer than prior, and yet surprisingly, no increase in harshness, quite a blessing given our rough roads. They have improved roll stability so significantly that one might think I'd installed larger anti-sway bars ! Also braking & acceleration diving & squatting is greatly reduced. If you'll be putting these on an ML, be sure to watch my YouTube video as there are 2 minor mods - easy as pie, but should be done to facilitate installation. I have shot but not uploaded the video just yet, but will shortly - so be sure to look for that on YouTube. I'll title it: "Mercedes ML320 ML500 Front Shock KYB Monotube Monomax Upgrade for w163 chassis" or something very close to that. So, I'm going to give these a real world work out - and will let everyone know how they hold up. Please look for that YouTube video I'll give more detail.
