Who makes a nice quality replacement shock and strut?
It is quite obvious the fac shocks/struts do not last long and are not the greatest. I am looking for a model that will replace the fac units and work well with the fac ECO springs. I do not want coil overs, exotic stuff etc etc. This is a Chevy Cruze, not a C6. They must be able to work in harmony with fac springs and have a better ride quality without making it bone jarring. Have any of you replaced them with Bilstein's or KYB? If they even make them?? Again, nothing exotic, no coil overs!

May I ask how your ksport's are doing and how is the ride quality?i have a full factory suspension for the cruze. it came off of my 2013 cruze they only have 2900 miles on them. they were replaced with ksport coilovers. all 4 struts, springs and even the factory end links are there. metal ones came with the ksports. 100 bucks plus shipping. 636-233-5941. if you or anyone else may be interested in them. i tried looking for a for sale section on this forum but i take it there isnt one?
im currently running DGRs coilovers......had them installed for 2 years now never winter driven my car has LOW K's lol......ride pretty smooth and happy with every dollar spent just gotta keep them clean. They arent the best but arent the worst out there. i had to add a custom rubber plate under my spring perch to stop a loud pop in my coilovers. ever since that theyve been smooth and tight. i ended up running the normal 6K springs with the kit.

What do you mean by coil overs?I have noticed this as well. 4 years later no one really wants to make them for our car besides ac delco or monroe? I was hoping Bilstein or KYB. I guess down the road I wont have a choice but go with coil overs?
Coil oversWhat do you mean by coil overs?
Struts
With most coil overs you can adjust the ride height whenever you want and if you purchase struts/shocks, you get the ride height the manufacturer wants. f you live in fair weather year round and the roads are decent, coil overs are nice if that is your thing.
