Vette(s): I have a 1991 Artic White, Red Interior convertible, 30,000 miles on it, & a 1993 40th Anniversary with 50,000 miles on it
I have two C4;s, a '91 base convertible, it has tge factory biklsteins, car has 32,000 mikes and ride great. M '93 Anniversary Eddition has some brand of shocks, black in color, and I literaly can feel evry pebble in the road. If tghe road is smooth, she rides greatr, if the road is rough and on raikl road tracks, it will absolutely beat you to death. Gauses me to vent colorful verbage often!
As soon as I can (have been unemployed for over a year) I am going to pull them off and throw them as far and as hard as I can. I intend to replace them with KYB since they are a little cheaper than bilstein.
My thoughts on standard Monroe or other after market brands are simple, GM had train loads of shocks available. If the rode well on Corvettes, they woukld have put them on Corvettes. Then again too, if I knew diddly, I would probably be dangerous.
There is my two cents on the shock subject. Welcome to hear from anyone who knows what they are talkin bout.

It really just depends on your prefrences. I just recently rebuilt my suspention with a kit I got online poly bushes. and I went to local parts house and got what they had in stock. Monroe I beleive. and she rides better than when I got her. I love to test her limits when I can. and she preformes better than I expected. So money or not it's just what you trust and how you drive that matters what you put the real money too.
