I replaced my SS rear shocks with Delco's for the FE5 from Rock Auto.
Hope this helps.

Vinny, I just put the Monroe's on front and rear about 600 miles, So far I like them. BUT like anything there are different opinions on things :) SO I will see how they hold up for me :)

FWIW, I replaced the rear shocks with the KYB's, very noticeable difference. Enough that my wife commented on it and she is the type that says I just get and drive it. Don't know if the set I got are/were bad or not they will be going to the dumpster. Next I'll put a rear sway bar on it to see if she notices that.

Only other complaint she has is that it's slow. She has a STS-V also, so in comparison, I have to say it's slower. But I have to say it almost feels like the pedal ratio needs to changed as it's soggy/when the pedal is pressed part way down. My 06 2.4 felt the same way.
