tokico hts (adjustable) or tokico blues (non-adj.).

monroes are NOT meant to be stiff. they are mushy and totally suck imo

adjustable shocks are pretty expensive... for that money you might as well get coilovers

DUH

They only suck if you want to auto cross.
I love

my Monroes for day to day use. The xB should have come with these from the factory. Plus they are made in Japan so all is good!

x 2.
Set on full soft, they're a great ride, still very controlled. An awesome (and adjustable!) upgrade for an xB.
However - on full stiff, they'll rattle your teeth out, if that's what you're looking for...
